Book excerpt: Few regiments in the British army played such a prominent and widespread part in the Second World War as the Durham Light Infantry. This is the full official account of the 8th battalion of the regiment's role in the conflict in which the DLI in general, and the 8th battalion in particular, more than upheld its long and proud traditions : in the words of the foreword to this book by Lt.Gen. Sir Brian Horrocks, who had the 8th DLI under his command both in North Africa and in Europe : ‘'Every man that served in this great battalion can say to himself with pride, “I did more than my share to win the war”’. The 8th DLI were part of the BEF sent to France in 1939. As such they withstood the onslaught of the German Blitzkrieg in May 1940, taking part in the British counter-strike at Arras and the retreat to Dunkirk. They were soon in action again, this time at Gazala in North Africa where they were again attacked by German forces under Rommel. The 8th DLI formed part of the victorious offensive at El Alamein and fought through to the dour slogging match to break the Mareth Line. Subsequently, they took part in the invasion of Sicily; D-Day, and the battles of Gheel and Nijmegen in Holland. This book, as Horrocks says is a ‘First class battalion history’ written by two former battalion officers. It comes complete with appendices listing Rolls of honour and awards, along with some 20 photographs and fourteen maps.

Book excerpt: 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.

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.

This book was released on 2015-05-20 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 6th Battalion of the DLI was formed in the Boer War, serving in South Africa from 1900-02. In the first year of the Great War the battalion raised enough volunteers to form first and second line battalions, and to start a third one. The 1/6th Battalion suffered heavy casualties at the second battle of Ypres in April 1915 (the 1/8th alone lost 19 officers and 574 other ranks) - that they were forced to amalgamate, becoming the 6/8th Battalion. The 2/6th Battalion was formed in September 1914 and was employed in home defence duties as part of the 190th (2nd Durham Light Infantry) Brigade of the 63rd (2nd Northumbrian) Division. Reassigned, it landed in France on 6 May 1918 as the Garrison Guards Battalion, part of the 177th Brigade of the 59th (2nd North Midland) Division. It dropped 'Garrison Guard' by 16th July and entered the line on the 15th, fighting in the autumn during the 100 days offensive. Appendices show Officers killed or died and Decorations.
