British and Commonwealth Armies 1944-1945: V2

.

.

by Mark Bevis.

Softcover (8.3×11.7 inches). 94 pages. 2025 reprint of 2024 reprint of 2004 book.

Subtitle: Helion Order of Battle 2

A sweet continuation of Order of Battle 1. The chapters cover North-West Europe; the Mediterranean; the Far East, Australasia and India; planned invasions of Malaya and Japan; and Special Forces (all theatres).

It generally follows the same OOB format and has the same level of excellence. The same praise I showered on the first volume repeats for the second volume.

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

Enjoyed it.
