The 7th Armoured Division gained that title from its famous insignia as they twice fought their way across the Western Desert and were twice forced back before the tide was turned for good at the Battle of Alamein. From there it fought its way with others to Tunis, up Italy, and from Normandy to the Elbe. The Division can rightly claim a record second to none in the annals of British arms, and every single man who served in the Division has a share in that proud claim.* This is a FINE ?Author signed and dedicated copy with minimal shelf wear.*
