Fighting Through From Dunkirk to Hamburg A Green Howards Wartime Memoir by John Parker is a memoir written by a British soldier who served in World War II. The book follows Parker's experiences from the evacuation of Dunkirk to the liberation of Hamburg, and provides a unique perspective on the war from the viewpoint of a common soldier. The book is divided into three parts: the first part describes Parker's training and early battles, the second part covers his time in the trenches, and the third part discusses his experiences during the final push into Germany. Throughout the book, Parker provides insight into the daily life of a soldier during wartime, including the challenges they faced, the camaraderie among soldiers, and the impact of the war on civilians. The book begins with Parker's enlistment in the army and his training in England before being sent to France. He describes the chaos and confusion of the Dunkirk evacuation, where he and his comrades were forced to retreat under heavy fire. The book then follows Parker's journey through the Battle of Britain, where he witnessed the devastating effects of bombing raids on British cities. As the war progressed, Parker found himself in the trenches of northern France, enduring harsh conditions and constant shelling. Despite the hardships, Parker remained optimistic and determined to do his part for the war effort.
