This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This a very good WW2 Regimental History of a fine fighting unit that formed part of the the 1st Armoured Division. The regiment's battle honours for the Second World War were as follows: Somme 1940, Withdrawal to Seine, North-West Europe 1940, Saunnu, Gazala, Bir el Aslagh, Sidi Rezegh 1942, Defence of Alamein Line, Ruweisat, Ruweisat Ridge, El Alamein, Tebaga Gap, El Hamma, El Kourzia, Tunis, Creteville Pass, North Africa 1942-43, Coriano, Capture of Forli, Lamone Crossing, Pideura, Defence of Lamone Bridgehead, Argenta Gap, Italy 1944-45. The Lancers landed in France to cover the retreating French, Belgian and British armies on 20 May 1940 and took part in the Battle of France. Withdrawn to England, the regiment landed in North Africa in September 1941 and undertook a leading part in the First Battle of El Alamein in July 1942. According to General Sir Richard McCreery: "The 9th Lancers took part in many decisive battles, none more so perhaps than the long withdrawal from Knightsbridge, south of Gazala, to El Alamein. Many think that Egypt was saved when the Eighth Army defeated Rommel's last big attack in the Western Desert at the end of August 1942. Actually, Egypt was saved earlier during those first few critical days of July when Rommel drove his tanks and self-propelled guns and trucks forward along the Ruweisat Ridge in close formations, to be stopped by the 25-pounders and the remnants of the 2nd Armoured Brigade with their "thin-skinned" Crusader tanks. In this critical action the 9th Lancers took the principal part. Throughout that long withdrawal from Knightsbridge, when the fluctuating Battle of Gazala had finally swung against the Eighth Army, past Sollum and Matruh to the Ruweisat Ridge, only seventy miles from Alexandria, the 2nd Armoured Brigade with the 9th Lancers always there but often reduced to only a handful of tanks, fought on skilfully and with gallant endurance and determination. Egypt was then saved indeed and with the arrival of the 9th Australian Division from Syria about the 6th of July, the tide of the whole war was turned." McCreery went on: "Right well did the intensive training of the 9th Lancers with the Sherman bear fruit in the great battle which followed. As the world knows, the breakthrough at El Alamein did not come quickly. Rommel had had two months to build up defences and minefields in depth. However, in the ten days "dogfight" tank crews with their new 75-mm guns were knocking out far more enemy tanks than our infantry appreciated at the time." The regiment's marksmanship was renowned; their best shot was Corporal Nicholls of B Squadron, who was once personally congratulated by General Bernard Montgomery for knocking out nine enemy tanks in one day. The regiment landed in Italy in mid-1944, where it saw action at San Savino in the battle for the Gothic Line in September 1944 on the Italian Front. The regiment formed the spearhead of the British Eighth Army in the breakthrough to the River Po in the Spring of 1945. By the end of War, 143 members of the regiment had lost their lives. The regiment was amalgamated with the 12th Royal Lancers to form the 9th/12th Royal Lancers in September 1960.

Download or read book The Scarlet Lancers written by James Lunt and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 1993-03-01 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 16th/5th Queen's Royal Lancers have long had the reputation of being one of the most efficient, and at the same time one of the least flamboyant, of the British cavalry regiments. The regiment, as it exists today, is the product of the amalgamation after the Great War of two cavalry regiments whose combined battle honours bear witness to their distinguished services. It was first raised as the Royal Dragoons of Ireland, and more recently has returned in triumph from the Gulf War, prior to which not one member of the regiment had seen action, apart from tours in Northern Ireland. In writing this history of the regiment he once commanded, General Lunt offers evidence of the continuing value of tradition and esprit de corps on which the regimental system of the British Army has for so long been based.

Download or read book Armoured Warfare in the British Army 1939–1945 written by Dick Taylor and published by Pen and Sword Military. This book was released on 2022-10-21 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume in Dick Taylor’s three-volume illustrated history of the evolution of armored maneuver warfare in the British army covers the period of the Second World War, in which the tank came of age and developed into the principal land weapon of decision. He describes how, during the first half of the war, the British army came close to disaster from the armored warfare perspective and how the bitter lessons of failure were learned in time to deliver success in 1944 and 1945. As well as providing a fascinating overview of the tactical use of armor during the main campaigns, he considers such much-neglected aspects as the role of training and organization, officer selection and recruitment, and the mechanization of other arms. His wide-ranging book also features extensive, well-laid-out tables giving key information about British armor during this period. This expert account quotes heavily from the vivid recollections of soldiers who served in armor, and is not afraid to criticize as well as praise.

Book Synopsis Ninth Queens Royal Lancers 1715-1903 by : Frank H. Reynard
Download or read book Ninth Queens Royal Lancers 1715-1903 written by Frank H. Reynard and published by . This book was released on 2002-09-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first thing that struck me about this history was the number of appendices and the information they contained. There are nine of them and they take up over 100 pages, beginning with the list of battles (in effect battle honours) which are keyed to the campaign medals depicted in colour on a double page spread in the colour plate section at the beginning of the book. Then there is an explanation of guidons and standards (two of these are illustrated in colour).There is a table showing the establishment of the Regiment in 1715 and all the changes up to 1903 with explanatory footnotes. Most useful is the list of the places where the Regiment has been stationed and on active service, with dates, from 1715 to January 1903. Other appendices give details of dress depicted in eight colour plates; succession of Colonels of the Regiment with biographical information, succession of Commanding Officers, Adjutants and Quartermasters; extracts from the Annual Army Lists from 1715; alphabetical list of officers appointed to the Regiment, 1715-1903, showing date of appointment, cause of leaving etc; and finally, and most unusual, a list of Officers attending the annual Regimental Dinner during the period1866 to 1903. The history itself is arranged in chapters, each chapter covering a specific time frame and in the text the year in which the events being described took place is shown in the margin, in effect a chronology. Formed as Major-General Owen Wynne s Regiment of Dragoons in 1715 it was, within a few weeks, in action at Preston against the Jacobite rebel forces of the Old Pretender. The title changed to 9h Dragoons in 1751 and subsequently to Light Dragoons and finally, after Waterloo, to 9th Lancers becoming Queen s Royal (Queen Adelaide)in 1830. It saw action in S America, Walcheren, the Peninsula, the Sikh Wars, the Mutiny, Kabul, Kandahar, Afghanistan and S Africa. Probably its finest achievement was during the Indian Mutiny in which it was engaged between June 1857 and January 1859, losing 5 officers and 143 men and being awarded 13 VCs (one of them an officer of 2nd Dragoon Guards attached to the Regiment) which must be the greatest number of VCs awarded to a unit during the course of a campaign. There is plenty of action in this account but for regimental detail this history takes some beating

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'What was it really like to serve in the British Army during the Second World War?Discover a soldier's view of life in the British Army from recruitment and training to the brutal realities of combat. Using first-hand sources, James Goulty reconstructs the experiences of the men and women who made up the 'citizen's army'. Find out about the weapons and equipment they used; the uniforms they wore; how they adjusted to army discipline and faced the challenges of active service overseas.What happened when things went wrong? What were your chances of survival if you were injured in combat or taken prisoner? While they didn't go into combat, thousands of women also served in the British Army with the ATS or as nurses. What were their wartime lives like? And, when the war had finally ended, how did newly demobilised soldiers and servicewomen cope with returning home?The British Army that emerged victorious in 1945 was vastly different from the poorly funded force of 865,000 men who heard Neville Chamberlain declare war in 1939. With an influx of civilian volunteers and conscripts, the army became a citizens force and its character and size were transformed. By D-Day Britain had a well-equipped, disciplined army of over three million men and women and during the war they served in a diverse range of places across the world. This book uncovers some of their stories and gives a fascinating insight into the realities of army life in wartime.

This book was released on 2022-04-06 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first volume in a three-volume illustrated history of the evolution of armored manoeuvre warfare in the British army, covering the period from 1914 until 1939. Author Dick Taylor’s tour de force covers the evolution of the tank and armored cars in response to the specific conditions created by trench warfare, the history of the use of tanks during the war, as well as the critical period between the wars in which the tank was both refined and neglected. He also looks in detail at the amalgamations and mechanization of the horsed cavalry which led to the formation of the Royal armored Corps in 1939. His detailed and absorbing narrative covers the social and human aspects of the story as well as the technology, and explains how the nation that invented and first fielded the tank in 1916 struggled to maintain the lead after the Armistice.
