Publisher's Synopsis
"We all slept like logs until about 6 o'clock, when we were fully awakened by a small-size brass band, including drums and trumpets, playing America the Brave, which marched straight through the bedroom just to impress us 'limeys'!" Gordon Turner finds his eyes boggling as he enters New York Harbour on his way to pick up LST 406, the vessel that will be his home for the final years of the Second World War. Follow Gordon's wonder of seeing North America before playing his part in the great landings of Sicily, Salerno, Anzio and Normandy. He relates his trials and tribulations, including how he dealt with a complete dinner service of Naval china, having smuggled it off the LST.
