The 1st Armoured Division saw more action than any other British
armoured division from its deployment in France in 1940 until its
disbandment in Italy in 1944. Despite its impressive record this
division has been almost ignored by historians and this book is an
attempt to rectify this. It follows the division through its
disastrous campaign in France, then to North Africa to follow its
retreat to Gazala and its part in that defeat. It looks closely at
the division's actions around Ruweisat Ridge where the reputation
of British armour reached an all-time low. This is followed by an
account of the division's part in Alamein and its triumphant march
across North Africa to Tunisia. Finally the division's part in the
Italian campaign, specifically the assault of the Gothic Line, is
studied, then the circumstances of its disbandment. Hopefully the
publication of this book will go some way to reinstating the
reputation of this fine division.
