About the book >.>.> On duty Mitchell’s job was invariably lonely and dangerous as being the only moving object in the forward area carried obvious risks. Off duty he recognised the advantages of having his own albeit unofficial transport and made the most of it where circumstances rather than regulations permitted. His ‘right to roam’ gave him a much wider perspective than that gain by the vast majority of his peers and even seniors. The reader travels ‘pillion’ from the assault on the Normandy beaches through to occupation duties in the chaos of defeated Germany including the fierce fighting following the Walcheren landings in November 1944 which opened up the vital port of Antwerp. While not neglecting the long hours of waiting and suspense Commando Despatch Rider is as gripping exciting and totally authentic a personal account of front line action as will be found anywhere.
