Book Description

The 78th Division started its serious war in North Africa and saw off the Afrika Korps before invading Sicily and then Italy. There it stayed until the very end of the fighting when it was moved into Austria as part of the occupying forces. Although not one of the D-Day divisions, it made a very significant contribution to the Allied victory and the fighting in Italy was by no means easy. This is a good divisional history accompanied with a number of valuable maps and photographs.
