The Advance from Normandy through Europe to the Baltic In April 1943 the East Riding Yeomanry, 'Wenlock's Horse', rebuilt as an armoured regiment following the debacle of 1940, learned that it would be amongst the assault waves for the liberation of Europe. This is the story, told largely through eyewitness accounts, of the East Riding Yeomanry's part in the liberation of Europe: landing on Sword Beach on D-Day 6th June 1944 the Regiment took part in fierce fighting to consolidate and expand the Normandy beachhead. After Normandy, the ERY saw action in Holland, liberating the city of s'Hertogenbosch, before being rushed into Belgium to help counter, and then squash, the German Ardennes offensive, known as the "Battle of the Bulge", in the harshest of winter conditions. Subsequently re-equipped with 'Buffalo' amphibious carriers, the ERY was tasked with transporting the assault infantry across the river Rhine in March 1945. The Regiment ended the war at Laboe on the Baltic coast, guarding thousands of German prisoners. The story concludes with an account of the Regiment post war, until amalgamation in November 1956 to form the Queen's Own Yorkshire Yeomanry. Today the history and traditions of the Regiment rest with 'A' Squadron, Queen's Own Yeomanry in York. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
