Default 60th Anniversary of WW2 - Government Publications

I was not aware of these publications and have only quickly skimmed through the publication on the Clearing of the Scheldt which appears to offer a very good summary.

I hope the others offer subjects of interest to Forum Members.

The initiative is surely worthy of support

They are concise, but all are extremely well written summaries, accessible to the general reader, but satisfying to the likes of us, with deeper knowledge. And they are available free, too.

(I'm biased, as some of the authors are friends of mine, but even so..)

I have the Kohima one - my grandfather was there - but didn't know about the others.

They were distributed to all units, Regimental Museums, Libraries and HQs, at the time of publication.
