Publisher's Summary

Lion Rampant is Robert Woollcombe's graphic account of his experiences as a front-line infantry officer with the King's Own Scottish Borderers during the desperate battle for Normandy and the Allied advance into Germany. Vividly evoking the confusion, horror and comradeship of war - from the killing fields of Normandy bocage, through house-to-house fighting in shattered Flemish towns, to the final Rhine crossing - Lion Rampant is a powerful, authentic and moving story, telling with extraordinary clarity how the author, his fellow officers and the men of his company lived through one of the most bitter campaigns in history.

What the critics say

"One of the most vivid personal memoirs of the Second World War. Few writers have bettered his description of the experiences of front line infantrymen under the stress of battle." (Max Hastings)

Good but Slow

While a good read, this war memoir does drag on a little bit. There are several times where a new character is introduced and great detail is spent to introduce them, only for that character to go their seperate way immediately and no longer be part of the story. Overall though it does give the reader a good impression of what it was like to be part of the British forces fighting in Western Europe from D-Day to to the end of the war.
