Download or read book War History of the Sixth Tank Battalion written by Lord Somers and published by . This book was released on 2003-07 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 1919, in Blangy-sur-Ternoise where the battalion had been billetted since the armistice, the CO of the 6th Tank Battalion, Lord Somers (late 1st Life Guards) summoned a meeting of all his officers, NCOs and men at which it was unanimously agreed to devote the private funds of the battalion to publishing the battalion history for the benefit of all surviving members and late members, and also of the next-of-kin of all who had fallen in battle or died since joining the battalion. At appendix III is the nominal roll of 242 officers and 1151 other ranks who served with the battalion on the Western Front, for whom the book was written, and I am sure the recipients must have been well satisfied with the finished product. The battalion was formed in Wool (Dorset) in October 1916 and designated 2nd Battalion with A, B and C Companies, and these early days form the opening narrative. At the end of December 1916 the Battalion became known as F Battalion with the companies redesignated 16, 17 and 18. On 13 May 1917 F Battalion landed in France and further instruction was carried on with Mark IV training tanks, a month later the Battalion received their fighting tanks. For the first six months the Battalion fought with Mark IVs, at Third Ypres and Cambrai, and then, in January 1918 they converted to Whippets, or Medium Mark A , and the Battalion title was again changed; it now became the 6th Battalion. With the Whippet the battalion fought through the last year of the war, from Amiens through the advance to victory. By the time of the armistice the 6th Battalion had fought in 27 separate actions employing 290 tanks, of which 83 were knocked out with total casualties of 92 officers and 305 other ranks. There are excellent descriptions of the fighting, often recording the actions and fate of individual tanks, especially at Third Ypres and Cambrai. At the end of each action the casualties are listed by name as are any decorations awarded. Among the latter was Lt Col R.A.West who won the VC while in command in September 1918 having been awarded a Bar to his DSO and the MC during the previous three weeks. His VC was posthumous. This is a very fine history, full of action, and it has a very useful table giving details of each action fought with dates, the number of tanks employed and casualties in personnel and tanks.

This book was released on 2008-12-01 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 6th Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment was raised in August 1914 and sailed for Gallipoli in July 1915. Upon arrival, the Battalion was almost immediately thrown into action at the Suvla Bay landings on 6 August 1915. The 6th Lincolns continued to serve at Gallipoli until the evacuation of Suvla. Following a period of respite in Egypt, the Battalion was transferred to the Western Front where it served until Armistice. Compiled from a previously unpublished manuscript written in the 1920's, this book provides a unique and colourful account of the Battalion's history throughout WW1, as told by Colonel F.G. Spring who served with the Battalion in 1915. The book also contains a Roll of Honour listing the names of all those who died with the Battalion, as well as the citations for those awarded medals for gallantry. Given that the Battalion War Diary for Gallipoli was lost, this publication is represents the most comprehensive account of the 6th Lincolns during the Great War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars and historians offer several theories for the crippling losses suffered by the American Expeditionary Forces on the battlefields of World War I: inexperience, poor leadership, hasty expansion of duties, and others. But until now, most of these studies have focused at the division level or higher. Now, with To the Limit of Endurance, Peter F. Owen offers a tautly worded, historically rigorous, and intensely human survey of the agonizing burden shouldered by the Second Battalion of the Sixth Regiment of U.S. Marines from its formation in Quantico, Virginia, in 1917 until the cessation of hostilities in November of the following year. In places like Belleau Wood and Soissons, these young men, led by dedicated officers, died in staggering numbers—primarily because of the outmoded tactics they had learned. Owen shows how the battalion regrouped after these campaigns, however, and embarked on a period of intense retraining. By the time of the closing weeks of the war, the adjustments they had made allowed them to mold themselves into a coldly efficient military machine. Drawing on a treasure trove of surviving first-hand accounts, Owen expertly combines these individual observations with military records and archival sources to create a mosaic that provides not only a case study of how one organization grappled with transformation but also a tightly focused, ground-level view of the lives—and deaths—of these courageous American military men. The grueling, ultimately triumphant odyssey of the 2nd Battalion, 6th Marines will appeal to military historians, professional soldiers, and interested general readers.

Download or read book First to the Rhine written by Mark Stout, Harry Yeide and published by . This book was released on with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of the Allied forces--the U.S. 6th Army Group and French 1st Army--that landed in southern France on August 15th, 1944. The book follows the action from the French beaches to the Vosges Mountains, where the first Allied penetration along the entire Western front reached the Rhine River. First to the Rhine covers the vicious fighting during the German Nordwind counteroffensive in January 1945 and the French-American offensive to clear the Colmar Pocket. It then pursues the forces of the Third Reich across the Rhine to their ultimate destruction. Unlike the forces landing in Normandy, these American divisions were hard-bitten veterans of the war in Italy, and, in the case of the 3d Infantry Division, North Africa. The French units included many veterans of the Italian campaign and comprised Frenchmen and Africans in almost equal numbers. As the campaign went on, the French ranks were swelled by tens of thousands of Free French Forces of the Interior, the famous maquis. The German forces arrayed against the Allies included the famed 11th Panzer Division, an Eastern front veteran known as the "Ghost Division," which would hit the Allied advance time and again only to slip away before it could be pinned and destroyed. This is the harrowing story First to the Rhine tells, from the strategic plane-down through the corps, division, and regimental levels to the personal experience of the men in combat, including the likes of Audie Murphy, Americas most decorated infantryman of the war. The book features little-known battles, including one at Montelimar, when an ad hoc American armored command and the 36th Infantry Division came within a hairs breadth and several days of hard fighting of cutting off the entire German 19th Army. This is the first popular work in English to explore the French role in the fighting and the relationship between the U.S. Army and the French forces fighting under American command.
