British and Commonwealth Armies 1939-1945: Supplement Volume 1

.

.

by Mark Bevis.

Softcover (8.3×11.7 inches). 87 pages. 2025 reprint of 2024 reprint of 2005 book.

Subtitle: Helion Order of Battle 3

This contains five chapters providing data covering formations in North Africa, the Mediterranean, North-West Europe, Burma / India and Special Forces.Certain units receive more attention than others. For example, the British 7th Armored Division has 11 TO&Es covering North Africa. The Table of Contents has a typo: Number 8 is really October 1942, not November (duplicate of Number 9).

The breakdown of specific units depends on the date.

Likewise, I still can’t say I read every listing — just skimmed a few here and there.

But the praise remains the same.

Enjoyed it
