Description
271 pages. Although based on fact, and the reminiscenses of the author, the characters in this book are fictional. "It all began in 1936 when I joined the famous band of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) in Winnipeg. As the band drove into liberated Hilversum, we were overrun by tearful and cheerful Dutch because we had liberated them. Others would follow but we were the first. 'We are not soldiers,' we explained. 'But you have liberated us.' " Average wear. Unmarked. A sound copy. Book
