xv + 191pp. Five sketch maps and many photographs.

Contents clean. Binding tight. Original jacket has two tears but with no loss of paper.

'Anyone intimately, or even remotely, connected with the 6th South African Armoured Division will enjoy this book. Authentic and vivid, it is packed with interesting descriptions of the deeds of the Springboks and of the environments in which they travelled, trained and fought, from 1943 to 1945. The author served as Brigade Intelligence Officer with the Division's Motorised Infantry. In civil life he is engaged in scientific research work; he is widely travelled and has written on many subjects.

All who served with the Division will treasure it as a memento; it will serve as a chronological basis and will awaken fading memories as the years go by.

Men will think of their personal experiences . . . They will say . . . "Why, yes, that was the place . . . Do you remember? . . ."

And those who were not there will enjoy reading this brightly written history of what the 6th Division men did in World War II.'
