Product Information
They called it 'the slaughter of the innocents'. The barely trained and poorly equipped men of the Labour Divisions were never meant to fight, but when the German blitzkreig sliced through the Allied armies they were all that stood in the way of the annihilation of the British Expeditionary Force. Paying with their lives they bought precious time as the army fell back towards Dunkirk, and long after the last of the little ships reached home, the men of the Labour Divisions fought on. Dunkirk 1940: Whereabouts Unknown uses official reports, diaries and personal accounts to tell the story of the chaos, terror and heroism of the amateur soldiers of 137th Infantry Brigade during the fall of France.Product Identifiers

The value of the 'Digging' Territorials during the fall of France
This book provided details about the line of communication support to the BEF during the German Invasion of the low countries, particularly Belgium and France. The detailed analysis of the way in which the Territorial 'Digging' troops were put into the breach because there was none other first line troops was very sobering and provided a much better appreciation of their value and efforts during the fall of France. As such it provides a source of information that should be appreciated by all students of World War 2.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
