GI Limey : A Welsh-American in WWII

See all formats and editions

Clifford Guard was born in 1923, in the South Wales city of Swansea, into a life of abject poverty.

By age 15, he sought escape through joining the merchant navy, and acted on an imperative from his father to reach America where he could forge a different future. When the Second World War broke out, he joined the US Army's 3rd Armored Division, where he was nicknamed `Limey' by two friends he'd endure battle with-Trix and The Greek.

From the desolation of Omaha Beach to the Battle of the Bulge, they spent the next 11 months dodging gunfire, disarming landmines and liberating towns as they drove the Nazi Army from France. GI Limey is a story about the bond that keeps soldiers together, through the danger of combat and the decades after.

In this honest account, Clifford Guard examines how war shaped his identity, one defined by two allied countries an ocean apart.
