This book was released on 2011-12-21 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of a typical infantry battalion of a county regiment as they fought their way from the beaches of Normandy to the River Elbe. In the proud words of Lt. Gen. G.I.

Unusually for an official history of this kind, the book has no single author, but includes contributions from all ranks to build a picture of such hard-fought actions as Hill 112 and Mount PIncon in the Normandy campaign; the heavily contested crossing of the RIver Seine, the ‘taking out' of the ancient German town of Cleve, and finally the taking of the north German port city of Bremen. This is the story of the final months of the Second World War in Europe seen through the eyes of the men who won it.

This book was released on 2012-01-11 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This had been a local Corps – the Bhopal Levy (1859–1865) and the Bhopal Bn (1865–1903) – before gaining the title of 9th Bhopal Infantry (1903–1922). Its nickname at that time was ‘the Bo-peeps'. During WWI it raised three additional Bns, two of which served in Mesopotamia, but this book is concerned mainly with the original pre-war (Regular) 1st Bn. It served on the Western Front with the Indian Corps, in Egypt, and then in Mesopotamia. Its adventures are described here in good detail, with plenty of individuals being mentioned by name in the narrative. In 1922, the 1/9th Bhopal Infantry became the 4/16th Punjab Regt.

This book was released on 1992 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 4th Battalion, 37th Armor, distinguished itself during Desert Shield/Desert Storm. The 37th Armored Regiment's last combat experience was in World War II under the leadership of LTC Creighton W. Abrams III. The battalion's high level of training and combat readiness, quality of personnel and leadership, and modernize equipment, prior to the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq on 2 August 1990, made it a prime choice for duty in Southwest Asia. The battalion began preparing for deployment and combat on 3 August. A gradual escalation of combat preparedness ensued up to 8 November, when the division's formal deployment notification was announced by President Bush. The intensity and sense of urgency from 9 November 1990 to 8 January 1991 affected every aspect of the battalion's combat operating systems and family support operations. The battalion built combat power in port facilities at Ad Dammam in Saudi Arabia and in a forward tactical assembly area near the Iraq border from 9 January to 17 February 1991. Detailed plans were executed for a deliberate breaching operation against fortified Iraqi positions. Planned combat operations began on 19 February and continued until G+3 days on 28 February.

Download or read book Saragarhi Battalion Ashes to Glory written by Col Kanwaljit Singh and published by Lancer Publishers LLC. This book was released on 2015-02-17 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ashes to Glory is a fascinating account of the 4th Battalion of the Sikh Regiment (XXXVI SIKH). Written and compiled by two officers of the Battalion who have been brought up in its traditions, the book recalls how, time and again, it has rallied to the call and risen to even greater glory. The Battalion suffered over 600 casualties within three hours at Hai during World War I and was overrun by Rommel’s Panzer division in the burning sands of EI Alamien during World War II. Again, in 1962 and 1965 it faced major reverses, yet emerged unscathed. Tracing the Battalion’s trials and tribulations, triumph and glory, the book recounts how, within four years of its raising, it earned its first Battle Honour in Manipur. However, it is in the NWFP on 12 September 1897, while defending the post of Saragarhi, that it achieved undying glory. Havildar Ishar Singh and twenty-one other ranks laid down their lives fighting, refusing to surrender to thousands of Orakazi tribesmen surrounding their post. All twenty-one of them were awarded the Indian Order of Merit, the then highest award given to an Indian. Ever since then it has been known as the Saragarhi Battalion. The Battalion went on to win twenty-two Battle Honours, thereby establishing its claim as not only one of the most decorated units of the Indian Army, but also a widely travelled one. These pages contain a fascinating account of the Battalion’s operations in China during the Boxer Rebellion; NWFP and Aden between the two World Wars, Abysinnia, Ethiopia, Eriteria, Egypt and Italy during World War II. The Battalion also has the honour of having participated in all the four operations since Independence, including the 1947 Kashmir Operations when it was air lifted into the valley. This is not only the story of the Battalion of the Sikh Regiment but in a way that of soldiering in the Indian Army, for it brings out the resilience of the Indian Soldier when pitched against insurmountable odds. Written on the eve of the centenary of the Battalion, it makes compelling reading.
