The Bedford Boys: One American Town's Ultimate D-Day Sacrifice
fog avatar reviewed on + 139 more book reviews


Very good account of the town of Bedford Virginia's local National Guard unit that was a part of the initial assault on D-day. Author writs about the early formation of the unit, the background of the young men and their families that comprised Company A, 116 Regt, 29the Division. if you are at all interested in first hand accounts of the Longest Day, June 6,1944 than you need to read how Bedford lost almost all of its sons, husbands and brothers that were part of Company A in the first minutes of the invasion.
