A propos de cet article

345, [5] pages. Illustrations. Bibliography. Originally published as two volumes (Europe and North Africa), now in one volume.

In February 1940, the name of the unit was changed to the 7th Armoured Division.

It began landing in Normandy during the afternoon of D-Day, 6 June 1944, and fought its way across Europe ending the war in Kiel and Hamburg, Germany. Although the division was disbanded during the 1950s, the history, name and the "Desert Rat" flash is carried on by the 7th Armoured Brigade. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus.…
