 This one is an oddity. Going through various family documents (OK, Sandra is doing the sorting!) came across this. The oddity is that I haven't the faintest idea who in family was in the 8th Army!





Anyone doing WW2 Desert or Italian campaigns may be interested in this as part of the scenario?

Looked it up (OK, again Sandra looked it up). Seems to have been published in January 1945.

Found one on Abe books for £60!

https://www.abebooks.co.uk/first-edition/Eighth-Army-Service-Thanksgiving-BRIGHT-CLEAN/30582400349/bd The ABE books one has all the units written beside the formation signs - these are not just the formation in the 8th Army, but also those that fought alongside it.

    1. Yes, especially as it is an unexpected piece.
