Borrowed Soldiers
Author: Mitchell A. Yockelson
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806155604
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
The combined British Expeditionary Force and American II Corps successfully pierced the Hindenburg Line during the Hundred Days Campaign of World War I, an offensive that hastened the war’s end. Yet despite the importance of this effort, the training and operation of II Corps has received scant attention from historians. Mitchell A. Yockelson delivers a comprehensive study of the first time American and British soldiers fought together as a coalition force—more than twenty years before D-Day. He follows the two divisions that constituted II Corps, the 27th and 30th, from the training camps of South Carolina to the bloody battlefields of Europe. Despite cultural differences, General Pershing’s misgivings, and the contrast between American eagerness and British exhaustion, the untested Yanks benefited from the experience of battle-toughened Tommies. Their combined forces contributed much to the Allied victory. Yockelson plumbs new archival sources, including letters and diaries of American, Australian, and British soldiers to examine how two forces of differing organization and attitude merged command relationships and operations. Emphasizing tactical cooperation and training, he details II Corps’ performance in Flanders during the Ypres-Lys offensive, the assault on the Hindenburg Line, and the decisive battle of the Selle. Featuring thirty-nine evocative photographs and nine maps, this account shows how the British and American military relationship evolved both strategically and politically. A case study of coalition warfare, Borrowed Soldiers adds significantly to our understanding of the Great War.

4-31 Infantry in Iraq's Triangle of Death
Author: Darrell E. Fawley III
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476638314
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
The Iraqi Triangle of Death, south of Baghdad, was a raging inferno of insurgent activity in August of 2006; by November 2007, attacks had been suppressed to such an extent as to return the area to near obscurity. In the intervening months, the U.S. Army 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry ("Polar Bears") employed a counterinsurgency approach that set the conditions for a landmark peace agreement that has held to the present. With a focus on counterinsurgency, this book is the first to look at the breadth of military operations in Yusifiyah, Iraq, and to analyze the methods the Polar Bears employed. It is a story not of those who fought in the Triangle of Death, but of how they fought.

History of the 31st Canadian Infantry Battalion (1914-1919) C.E.F.
Author: Horace Cecil Singer
Publisher: Calgary : Detselig Enterprises
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 536
Book Description
For more than six long years, from late 1931 to 1938, Major Horace Cecil Singer, late of the Royal Canadian Artillery, patiently labored to write this outstanding account of the 31st Battalion's fighting record in World War One. Armed with little more than pencil and pad of paper, and assisted intermittently by two stenographers operating a manually-operated Number 5 Underwood typewriter, Major Singer travelled extensively at his own cost to flesh out the records, and to secure the information he required for the text from numerous sources in western Canada, from the Department of National Defence in Ottawa, and from other sources in London, England. Year by year, the text was slowly compiled, edited, typed -- and then read and reviewed for final edit again by A.A. Peebles, of Lethbridge, Alberta -- before being collated and re-typed as a final manuscript. The original book is reproduced in its entirety, with additions of comment, pictures, and minor alternations.
