Albert Torreele graduated from the Ecole Royale Militaire in Brussels just in time to lead an ill-fated platoon straight into the German onslaught of 10 May 1940. A single shot that should have left him crippled sent him on a grueling odyssey via Dunkirk to the Welsh seaside town of Tenby, where the Belgian forces regrouped and prepared for another chance to fight. Finding old friends and true love in Wales, Albert and his comrades of the Brigade Piron set their minds on a single goal: cross the English Channel, take back their homes and free their families. Relive the adventures of the Belgian Free Forces in this story of incredible twists of fate, unyielding courage, true love and deep friendship.
