Syria and Iran to stem the tide of German advance, which at one stage even threatened the Indian borders. Even after the Axis threat had been contained Indian forces continued to garrison the area to facilitate the transport of necessary war material to Russia. This in the way greatly helped the Russian war effort, which finally resulted in the defeat of Germans.The theatre assumed operational importance during the Second World War after the victory of the Africa Corps led by Rommel. As Rommel's forces reached Alexandria and the gates of Cairo and the German offensive in the Caucasus and Russia progressed in 1941, Hitler envisaged the possibility of a pincer in the North to complement the Africa Corps. This was to sweep through the Levant using the base provided by the Vichy French. This was more of an improvisation presented by opportunities of war as Hitler's world view was mainly continental and restricted to Europe.

In a way it is a story of military debacle suffered by the British. The narrative outlines the rapid withdrawal of the Indian, British and Australian forces from Malaya and Singapore. The British were compelled to surrender a vast land mass of Asia from the Netherlands East Indies to Burma to the Japanese.The region covered extends from Hong Kong to Malaya, including Borneo, Singapore and parts of Burma, and highlights the British and Dutch colonies. The strategic importance of the region to Japan and the Allies, the historical background of the conflict and the prevailing situation in China and Indochina provide the curtain raiser. The impact of terrain and climate on the operations, strengths of the opposing forces, strategies adopted by the two adversaries and the prevailing local political environment are all well covered.Though the Commonwealth Forces had numerical superiority, they were outmatched. This defeat greatly shattered the British and Commonwealth confidence and prestige in the region, which gave impetus to better planning in future operations.

This office was tasked to produce History of the Second World War, with special reference to the part played by soldiers of the British Indian Army, based on the official war diaries, reports and other documents held by the Division, as well as in consultation with a few actual participants.The Retreat from Burma narrates the circumstances under which Burma was lost to the Japanese in 1942. In the main, however, it is an account of the fighting of the troops who struggled against all odds and saved themselves from the prospect of extermination which confronted them. The retreating Indians finally settled on the eastern border in Kohima-Imphal region. The early reverses, however, encouraged the Indian Army to make vigorous preparations to fight the Japanese successfully.

Some 8,700 names are listed. Deaths in captivity are noted together with dates reported missing and dates of repatriation. The index lists every name in alphabetical order. First printed 1919 for private circulation, this rare volume (in its first printing) was compiled from records kept by Messrs Cox & Co.'s Enquiry Office, which opened in Sep 1914 in Craig's Court, Charing Cross and gained full support of the War Office. Some 8,700 names are listed, including officers of the RAF, RNAS, RN Div and Dominions. Names are shown by regiments/corps and by battalions within regiments in the order of capture. Deaths in captivity are noted together with dates reported missing and dates of repatriation.At the outset, the aim was to give advice and information to relatives regarding wounded officers with the British Expeditionary Force. A system was also built up of obtaining all available information regarding officers reported 'Missing', and this gradually came to be the principal work of the enquiry office. The information collected was obtained in various ways but chiefly by means of the fact that a missing officer's cheque was often the first intimation that he was a POW, and it appears that a high proportion of cheques cashed by officers in captivity passed through the hands of Messrs Cox & Co. Details shown are name, rank, regiment/corps, battalion, date missing, date interned and date repatriated, some records have additional notes, for example death in captivity. A very valuable source of information.

This 1944 period manual covers both Western and Eastern theatres of war. The content details elements of vehicle, gun or heavy equipment recovery, backloading and evacuation; the primary objective of this was to return the damaged piece of equipment back to operational use.

"I wrote this book after reading Lt/Col. Davis's excellent book on the Surrey and Sussex Yeomanry of WWII. He mentioned some of the awards in his book and listed the rest at the back of his book, but no Citations. So I took it upon myself to find all the Citations and all the award winners and write a book showing them. I also listed all those who had awards and had died, and the country where they died and the cemetery they are buried in." Dick Buckman

A psychiatric casualty is a military combatant who is unable to continue fighting due to some sort of mental debilitation. The debilitations a casualty can experience are extensive, with many psychiatric casualties developing long-term or permanent post-traumatic stress disorder. Treatment generally consists of simply removing a soldier from combat; however, psychotherapy is sometimes used. This Korean war period handbook covers syndromes, prevention and treatment, and methods used at the time.Psychiatric casualties are recognised as an important and inevitable feature of modern warfare. At the beginning of the 20th century they were scarcely acknowledged (shell shock), and still less treated. Today, as a result of lessons learned in the First and Second World Wars, numbers can be predicted on the basis of battle intensity and effective clinical interventions applied.

This Pattern had its origins in two requirements for lighter patterns of web equipment, one for temperate zones, the other tropical. The result appears to have been a convergence of these designs.

This important period manual was published in early 1915 when hope of a quick ending to the war disappeared, and trench warfare had begun to dominate the Western Front.
