 | | The first, The Charge of the Bull, recounts the battles of 11th British Armoured Division from the time they landed in Normandy, on 13 and 14 June, 1944, between Bernières and Courseulles on the Channel coast, to January, 1946, when the Division was disbanded in Flensburg, Germany, on the Baltic Sea, at the Danish border. |
 | | The second book, The Search for Sidney, is the story of Corporal Sidney Bates, VC, a young, working-class, cockney boy who fell in Normandy in the battles following the D-Day landings. |
 | | Eventually, it turned out to be a search not only for the battlefield and for the personality of Sidney Bates himself, but also for ways to correct certain misunderstandings, even slanders, both on the military and civilian sides, that have crept into the D-Day literature. |
