Book Description
This is the story of the final 11 months of World War II in the life of the Poor Bloody Infantry, told in their own words. It recalls the experiences of the foot-soldiers at the front - from the assault on Normandy, spearheading that great invasion, to holding the enemy at Caen, blunting the Panzer counter-attack in the Bocage, and a bitter battle in Holland as they held the Mass river during the coldest winter in living memory, and finally onto Germany at Bremen. Accounts tell tales of courage and fear, of how they faced up to the enemy under fire, of sharing danger, the survival of savage conditions, and of the pride of belonging to a famous and historic regiment.

Book Description
Winston Churchill, Britain's iconic war time Prime Minister, is inextricably linked with the victorious British Army of 1939 to 1945. Yet hindsight, propaganda, and the imperative of the defeat of Hitler and Imperial Japan, have led to a tendency to oversimplify the image of Churchill the war leader, and 'his' Army. For whilst Churchill was undeniably a towering statesman, his relations with both the Army and War Office were ambiguous and altered considerably not only with the progress of the Second World War, but over decades. In this comprehensive book, Stephen Bull examines every aspect of the British Army during the Second World War, and considers in detail the strengths and weaknesses of an organisation that was tested to its limits on many fronts but made an immense contribution to the successful Allied outcome. The book explores the structure of military power from the men who ran it, the Generals to the detail of the regiments they commanded. It looks at the uniforms the soldiers wore and the badges and insignia they bore on their uniforms. The weaponry Churchill's army used is discussed in detail, from small arms including rifles, bayonets, grenades, carbines and machine guns to the massed firepower of the artillery along with the increasing sophistication of tanks and other military vehicles during the period. Finally the role of auxiliary and special forces and their contribution to the campaign is considered. The comprehensive text is enhanced by more than 200 contemporary photographs.
