Gold Beach: Inland from King, June 1944

A guide to the British D-Day landings on the King sector of Gold Beach at Normandy during World War II.

The two authors, both formerly senior professional soldiers, have compiled an easy-to-follow itinerary to the British landings on 6 June 1944 on Gold Beach and the ensuing bitter fighting. Covered in detail are the actions which earned CSM Hollis of the Green Howards his VC and other inspiring battle stories.

Praise for Gold Beach: Inland from King, June 1944 "For someone intending to visit the Normandy sites this book would be a valuable source of how to find the smaller actions that are not marked on the tourist maps. Its general description is also very good and gives the reader a particularly good view of how things went and events unfolded." —Malcolm Wright, Australian Maritime Artist & Author
