This is the account of the very first action against the Axis forces on D-Day 6th June 1944 .It is a fascinating read of the training leading up to D-Day and glimpses the personal thoughts and fears of the men of the Ox and Bucks Airborne . This action was considered to be the most important action of the invasion ,failure could lead to a complete failure of the D-Day landings .This led to the order 'Hold until Relieved' which the men of the Ox and Bucks and their Parachute Regiment soldiers delivered against ferocious odds .A remarkable account of wartime heroism .
