British and Commonwealth Armies 1939-43 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781804517109)

This book offers a complete guide to the organisation of British and Commonwealth armies during the years 1939-1943. The six chapters cover all main theatres of war - North-West Europe (including the Home front) 1939-1943; North Africa; the Middle East, Central and East Africa; the Mediterranean; the Far East, Australasia and India; and Special Forces (all theatres). ToEs (Tables of Organisation and Equipment) are given for all main, and many minor, types of formations in each theatre - from armoured brigades and divisions in North Africa, to British Habforce in Iraq and Syria, the Indian 50th Airborne Brigade in Burma, and Pacific Islands native defence forces.

All organisations are analysed down to section level where possible; the listings specify types of equipment and weaponry used, along with explanatory notes. The information is clearly laid out in an easy-to-use formula, and represents a host of hard-to-find data. Notes for wargamers are also included.
