Mercy Under Fire
Every casualty has a name.
Publication date: Kindle pre-order available
On 6 June 1944, Jim Seddon leaves RAF Harwell aboard a Horsa glider with the men and equipment of the 195th (Airlanding) Field Ambulance, RAMC. Behind him are Grace and their three children. Ahead lies Normandy.
Among shattered gliders and crowded dressing stations, Jim’s work is measured in exhaustion, blood and the lives entrusted to his hands. British, German or civilian, the wounded need his help.
From Normandy to the Ardennes, the airborne crossing of the Rhine and Germany, Mercy Under Fire tells a story of duty, compassion and the cost of bringing others through a war.
