He was one of the first on the beach on June 6, 1944 -- D-Day. Charlie Martin and members of the Queen's Own Rifles raced from their landing craft, dodging, shooting, tearing across the sand towards the French village of Bernieres-sur-Mer. Charlie's memoir is a striking portrayal of how the boys of the Queen's Own became men and how the men became veterans.
