Aim to keep it simple, use good vocabulary and build on a relatively simple plot.
Simplicity is the name of the game - you have a word limit of like 500 words max for Paper 3 for the creative writing section.
Everything else (Summarys, letters etc) need to be one and a half page to two pages long max.
An Examiner isnt going to correct anything beyond the word limit and excessively long scripts are PENALISED.

I don't disagree with that. But many candidates can manage perfect English. What will make the difference between an A and an A* is your plot. Your creativity, your ability to keep your reader riveted.
And yup, like Dibbs said, using flashbacks surely gives a more mature impression. ;)
The ideas, people have already overloaded you. :) If you can, try to add something unexpected at the end.

Basically the main character in this plot is experiencing difficulty in moving up a beach.
You know that movie Saving Private Ryan ?
Remember the intro scene where the soldiers are clambering up the beach head whilst being shot at by German machine guns.
Basically, that scene was describing the D-Day Normandy Landings. You could use that as the basis of your story.
