Recollections of Rifleman Bowlby, Italy 1944
In 1944, having distinguished itself in the North Africa campaign, Rifleman Bowlby's battalion of Greenjackets was sent to Italy. However, they were used as ordinary infantry and suffered one defeat after another. This is Rifleman Bowlby's account of life in an infantry platoon in Italy in 1944. It recalls courage as well as cowardice, fierce loyalty leavened by Cockney common sense as well as self-interest, and offers insights into men's behaviour under pressure
