Anyone seen it?
New book '56th Infantry Brigade and D-Day....'
Re: New book '56th Infantry Brigade and D-Day....'
No, I've been trying to find something substantive on it for a month or two, but no joy. Based on the little bit that is available, and the Table of Contents I'm quite tempted, but not quite enough given the current price. Dollars to donuts it's an expanded/revised/slightly polished version of the thesis he did at Plymouth(?) University, but that doesn't seem to be available anywhere.

No, there seems to be a mysterious absence from Ethos of theses which have been recently published. I quite fancy it but not at that price.
Mind you, in my day it was Plymouth Poly.

The enemy had superiority in numbers, his tanks were more heavily armoured, they had larger calibre guns with nearly twice the effective range of ours, and their telescopes were superior. 5 RTR 19/11/41
