Raymond Rush from Prescot, St Helens, was the only man from his Company who landed at D-Day and who fought the Third Reich all the way back to Germany. The rest of the 600 men who landed with him on Sword Beach were wiped out. They were front-line soldiers whose duty was to go in first and clear the way. The heroism of these working-class volunteers from the South Lancs regiment never made it into the history books, because no one was alive to write their story. No one, except for Raymond Rush, the last man standing. Now, for the very first time, his remarkable true story is told.
