A candid and fast‑paced wartime memoir, Excuse Us! Herr Schicklgruber recounts the experiences of H. Clifford Chadderton, an officer of the Royal Winnipeg Rifles, as he led an infantry company through the Normandy campaign of 1944. Drawing on vivid personal recollections, Chadderton offers an unvarnished look at the chaos, courage, and camaraderie of front‑line combat.
From the tension of first engagements to the grim realities of injury, loss, and survival, the narrative captures both the brutality of war and the resilience of the soldiers who fought it. Honest, direct, and deeply human, this memoir stands as a tribute to the men of the Canadian Army who advanced through France at tremendous cost.
