Invasion Diary praised by reviewer E N H
The review lauds Richard Tregaskis's Invasion Diary as more real than other Sicily and Italy coverage and highlights his front line experiences in Italy and recovery from a near fatal head wound. It notes his modesty and resilience, and appraises his later return to action in France. Also mentions Melendy sisters returning home to Council Bluffs after five weeks with grandparents at 610 Fourth Avenue SE.
