Battleaxe Division
Author: Ken Ford
Publisher: History Press
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
The 78th Division was raised in 1942 specifically for the North African invasion. From the time that the Division landed at Algiers there were to be few easy days, and the campaigning through Tunisia, Sicily and Italy was a tale of bitterly fought actions in a harsh terrain against a skilful enemy. In its first year of action alone, the 78th Division suffered 10,000 casualties. Longstop Hill, Centuripe, Termoli, Cassino, the Gustav Line, the Argenta Gap; there was always one more river to cross, another defended mountain line to breach. Ken Ford brings out how quickly the Division developed its fighting power and shows how success resulted from an all-arms effort by infantry, armour, artillery, transport, and especially engineers. Yet it is the resilience and sacrifice of now vanished County infantry regiments that rightly form the core of the book. Using first hand accounts of men who actually fought with the 78th Division, and fully illustrated with photographs and maps, this is a fitting tribute to the soldiers of the Battleaxe Division.

The Book of British Battleaxes
Author: Christine Hamilton
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 9781861056108
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
The term battleaxe has been used since 1910 when it implied a closely defined type: elderly, resentful, vociferous and certainly no beauty. Here Christine Hamilton presents a banquet of belligerent British belles who, for one reason or another, exude the indomitable spirit that is the hallmark of the battleaxe, and yet who defy that description. Her portraits are admiring and affectionate - a celebration of that special quality that stands certain women apart. The star-studded cast includes Dame Barbara Cartland who when asked if she thought class barriers had broken down, retorted 'Of course they have. If they hadn't, someone like you wouldn't have been interviewing someone like me'; Barbara Woodhouse, famous for her strict approach to both dogs and owners, who once said of the royal Corgis 'I have seen them on a station platform exhibiting dreadful impatience'; no-nonsense Claire Raynor who said of herself 'I'm five foot nine and built like a bus. What can I do about it? Bugger all.' and Dame Irene Ward who on a parliamentary delegation to Nazi Germany in 1936 is said to have exclaimed in stentorian tones to Hitler 'What absolute bosh you are talking '
