Armoured Horseman

A well-known and respected figure in the racing world, Peter Willett’s extensive wartime service may come as a surprise to his many friends and acquaintances; he has seldom spoken of his time with The Queen’s Bays during the North African and Italian campaigns. Happily in Armoured Horseman, he has recorded his experiences of fighting with Eighth Army and the comradeship of regimental soldiering.

New memoirs of the Second World War are sadly rare today and gems such as this by a professional writer should not be missed. The Author tells a moving and graphic story with his characteristic mix of frankness and lightness of touch.
