VINTAGESTAN BOOKS Title: The History of the Tenth Foot 1919 to 1950 by Major L. C. Gates Summary: The History of the Tenth Foot, 1919–1950.The "Tenth Foot" refers to the historic Lincolnshire Regiment. The book traces the regiment's history from the end of the First World War through the Second World War and into the early post-war years. Inter-war Years (1919–1939) • Describes the regiment's transition from wartime service to peacetime duties after the First World War. • Covers reductions in army strength, overseas garrison service, recruitment, training, and regimental life during a period of relative peace. • Follows both regular and territorial battalions as they adapted to changing military requirements. Second World War (1939–1945) The history follows the regiment's battalions in several theatres: • France and the Dunkirk campaign (1940): The regiment's involvement in the British Expeditionary Force and the withdrawal to Dunkirk. • North Africa and the Middle East: Service against Axis forces in desert and Mediterranean operations. • Burma Campaign: Extensive coverage of the battalions that fought against Japanese forces in difficult jungle conditions. • North-West Europe (1944–45): Participation in the liberation of Western Europe following the Normandy landings. The book relies heavily on war diaries, officers' reports, and first-hand accounts, documenting: • Major operations and battles. • Battalion movements. • Leadership and tactical decisions. • Individual acts of bravery and gallantry. • Casualties and honours awarded. Post-war Period (1945–1950) • Covers occupation duties after the war. • Discusses demobilisation and the reduction of wartime forces. • Examines the regiment's role in the changing British Army of the late 1940s. • Ends with the regiment entering a new era before later army reorganisations.
