Harry Rawlins yearns for excitement before the war ends so volunteers to leave his relatively safe position, intercepting enemy signals in a Leicestershire stately home, to join the Nottingham Sherwood Rangers. Training on top secret swimming tanks he tragically loses his friends and crewmates just three weeks before D-Day.


A veteran tank crew, mysteriously transferred into his unit just before D-Day, is a man down and Harry is the body to fill that slot.
