I bought this book direct from the author last year; while visiting the Pegasus Bridge museum in June. But only got around to reading it this holiday. What can I say about this book! It is possibly the best personal history I've ever read about WWII. It is the story of one mans life; centred around his WWII service and D-Day landing on Omaha Beach. Written by his son, R.J. Slaughter. It took 6 years of research for him to write the book; and it shows in the quality of the history and the writing.

That's funny (peculiar) We have a little local museum here & the entrance road is a distinct sub type of bascule bridge, the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bascule_bridge#Types" rel="nofollow - "Scherzer rolling lift bascule bridge" or "rolling bridge". Bridges of this type do not pivot about a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinge" rel="nofollow - hinge
point, but roll back on curved tread plates attached to the girders of
the main span. This design allows a greater clearance of the waterway
for a given opening angle. bridge, only the second one I've ever seen! They were dubious when I said I'd seen the other one in Normandie.  ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs. (Unofficial motto of the Royal Air Force) |
