The Middle Aged Lions: War Memories and Normandy Saga
A wartime reminiscence follows Frank Sneed and Lt J Hamilton Napier through raids on Brunswick and Hamm, a Gotha raid scar on crews, D-Day at Normandy, and Napier’s ship STAFF leading the biggest invasion fleet. It weaves dawns of fear, courage, and the pull of home as battles fuse into memory across England and France.
