The Durham Light Infantry is not only one of the British army s proudest and most distinguised units - it is also one of the best recorded. This book is one among several published by the Naval and Military Press chronicling the DLI s many battle exploits, and it tells the regiment s story during the Second World War. The historycomes complete with a foreword by Field-Marshal Montgomery who often found himself commanding the DLI in many fields, from Alamein to Germany via Sicily, Normandy and Holland. Monty writes: It is a magnificent Regiment, steady as a rock in battle and absolutely reliable on all occasions . This book tells the full and thrilling story of the regiment s many battle honours, which include Arras and Dunkirk in France in 1940; the western desert, Tobruk and Malta; Tunis, Sicily, Italy and Greece; the Arakan and Kohima in Burma; Normandy, the Low Countries and Germany in 1944-45. The book has 20 maps, 32 photographs and an index.
