To encapsulate the British Army in one book is no easy task, but
here, George Forty presents it as it was during the Second World
War. When war was declared in 1939, the British Army was very much
the 'Cinderella' of the three armed services, with a total strength
of around 865,000 men. However, just four years later when the
Allies invaded north-west Europe, the British Army had grown into a
powerful, well-organised and well-equipped fighting force of 3
million men and women. George Forty presents a comprehensive
overview of the British Army during this important time. He
includes full details of mobilisation and training, higher
organisation and arms of the service; divisional organisations and
non-divisional units; HQs and Staff; the combat arms and the
services; the individual soldier, his weapons and equipment;
tactics; vehicle markings and camouflage; the Auxiliary Territorial
Service and other Women's Corps. Fully illustrated with an unusual
collection of photographs and line illustrations, this is an
indispensable reference guide for anyone interested in this
fascinating period of British history.
