Try- the "Guns" Trilogy by Blackburn
where the hell are the Guns
the guns of Normandy
the guns of victory
George Blackburn was a reporter before the war, then became FOO. A very dangerous job and the odds against you grew the longer you served. He was one of the longest serving FOOs of the war and his reporter skills make him a good writer
Alas he passed away a few years ago,
