Rifleman Bowlby

[Pete Ashby]

Just finished reading "The Recollections Of Rifleman Bowlby".
The author Alex Bowlby served in the Greenjackets and his storey is about his time in the 3rd Bat and covers a series of actions that Bowlby took part in throughout the Italian campaign.
The narrative is crystal clear and gives a stunning insight into a campaign of WW11 that gets small press, at least here in the UK. Written from the rifleman's view of the world around him the book is in my opinion a 'real must read'
"The Recollections of Rifleman Bowlby", first pub 1969 second edition 1999 by Cassell ISBN 0-304-35243-8
