Blurb: 
Sergeant Edward Henry George Williams of the Second Battalion, the Wiltshire Regiment, is a member of the British army stationed in France in 1940 during what was known as the Sitzkrieg. The Germans had soundly defeated the French and Belgium, and the English were forced to evacuate.

Told from the perspective of Sergeant Williams and based on facts, not propaganda, this novel tells the story of the bravery of the troops, the humiliations they suffered, the constant presence of death, the fear of defeat, and the need for every man to carry on despite the deplorable conditions he found himself in.
