Phil Hamlyn Williams's father, Major-General Sir Leslie (‘Bill') Williams, was head of the RAOC in WW2. His mother, Major-General Williams's secretary and later wife, kept albums, diaries and recollections which recorded the work of the RAOC in remarkable details. Now a historian, Phil has written War on Wheels and Ordnance on the history of the RAOC in the first and second world wars. Dunkirk to D Day explores the lives of the leaders of the RAOC seeking to find what equipped them for their mammoth undertaking.
Dunkirk to D Day is the final book in a trilogy which began with War on Wheels. It tells the story of many of the leaders of the RAOC. I am now exploring the companies which supplied the army and how they and others created the manufacturing world.
