He does talk a bit about other campaigns he served on but the focus is on Normandy. Doing a correlations search for World War, 1939-1945 -- Campaigns --France -- Normandy -- Personal narratives, American, I'm pointed to D756.5.N6 but there's no such number in classification. Has the call number changed or is missing number an oversight, does anyone know?

E.g., in the following it would be the C4 for Chesterton that I'd be talking about: PR4453.C4 I7 1987 Would it be incorrect to call this the Cutter for Chesterton, because it's a formal element of the classification schedule (and hence just the "classification number", classmark etc.), or is it correct to refer to this (and any element such as this involving using the same principle of alphanumeric representation for persons, places, subjects or titles to place them alphabetically in sequence) as a Cutter?
