PARATROOPER,
by Col. Gary H. Rice (ret.)
The 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion was Canada’s first paratroop unit, remaining on the nation’s wartime order of battle for a scant 1187 days. Colonel Rice’s concise and unpretentious biography of its first Regimental Sergeant Major, Wendell James (Knobby) Clark, creates a vivid portrait of the life of the unit’s top non commissioned officer, as he awaits his first combat jump, and his death in action on D-Day, June 6, 1944. This is an insightful account of how this professional soldier contributed to the growth and ultimate battlefield successes of one of Canada’s most courageous wartime battalions. The text includes several wartime photos of RSM Clark, five maps of his battalion’s drop zone, references and an index. DESTINED
