Trained as an assault brigade, the 56th landed on D-Day and
successfully liberated Bayeux the following day. It was then
employed in the crossing of the River Seine and the assault on,
before fighting across Belgium and Holland culminating in the final
assault on Arnhem in April 1945, by which time the brigade had
served in four different divisions. No previous study has sought to
explain how an infantry brigade is used in battle, let alone one
holding the title Independent Holborn considers the styles of war
as carried out by British forces and casts new light on the
effectiveness of British infantry units and their contribution to
war effort. Extensive use has been made of previously unseen
primary evidence from The National Archives, IWM Archive and
Regimental Museums. The evidence is used to explore issues
pertinent to life in the Army at home during the war, training for
war and the Campaign in North West Europe, as well as the role of
the battalion.
