British soldiers, with their old-fashioned helmets, spring-powered
PIAT anti-tank guns and veneration of heroic defeats, may have lost
the propaganda war, but their record speaks for itself: they may
have started badly in France in 1940 and the Far East in 1941, but
they were victorious in the North African desert, in Europe and in
India and Burma where the 'Forgotten Army' first held the Japanese
and then inflicted at Imphal and Kohima the greatest loss to the
Japanese on land. They held back the might of the Panzers in
Normandy in 1944, chased the Germans back into Holland and came
within a whisker at Arnhem of circumventing the Siegfried Line, and
won battle after battle against a fanatical defence on their way to
final victory. This book doesn't cover the progress of the Second
World War, but looks in detail at the weapons, uniform,
accoutrements, equipment and tactics of the Second World War
British infantryman, following the themes of the Haynes Great War
British Tommy and German Infantryman Manuals.
