Sergeant Nelson of the Guards

This book introduces Sergeant Bill Nelson, a career soldier embodying the stoic, no-nonsense attitude of the "old Breed" of non-commissioned officers. He's a man of few words, deeply practical, and utterly dedicated to his duty, representing the backbone of the army during the tumultuous years of World War Two. Nelson and his kind are the unsung heroes who held the line when others faltered, finding purpose in service rather than glory.
