Originally a cavalry regiment, the 'Royal Wilts' were mechanised in 1941 and during the Second World War served in Iraq, and the North African desert - being present at the decisive battle of El Alamein. As part of the Eighth Army, they took part in the invasion of Italy in 1943. This volume recounts these action-packed years, and includes rare photos of Crusader and Grant tanks in action in the desert and excellent maps. Also including a Roll of Honour, awards and nominal rolls. Should be of consuming interest to any fan of armoured warfare and the North African campaign
