Softback 168 pagesPublished Price £11.99 A new 231st Infantry Brigade was created in the Second World War on 1 April 1943 by the re-designation of the 1st (Malta) Infantry Brigade. This was composed of three Regular Army battalions that had been stationed on, or been transported to, Malta since the start of the Second World War and had served there during the siege. After Rommelâs defeat at the Second Battle of El Alamein, in late 1942, Malta lost some of its strategic significance and the 231st Independent Infantry Brigade joined the British Eighth Army in North Africa, who were preparing for the Allied invasion of Sicily (Operation Husky).The Allied invasion of Sicily was to be the first of three amphibious assault landings conducted by the 231st Brigade during the war. The brigade was constituted as an independent brigade group under the command of Brigadier Roy Urquhart, later famous as commander of the 1st Airborne Division, which was destroyed at Arnhem in September 1944. After some hard fighting, including the 2nd Devon's at Regalbuto amongst the foothills of Mount Etna, the Germans were driven from Sicily and the Allies prepared to invade Italy. Despite the success of the relatively brief campaign, the brigade sustained almost 600 casualties, with the 1st Hampshire's losing over 300 men, the 1st Dorset's 189 and the 2nd Devon's 113. The campaign ended in mid-August and the 231st Brigade was withdrawn for a short rest to prepare for the next operation. The 231st Brigade's second assault landing was at Porto San Venere on 7 September 1943, when the Allies invaded Italy.

The author, a regimental officer himself, provides a vivid, first-hand account of life on the front lines, capturing the tedium of marches, the frustration of logistical snafus, and the ever-present threat of the enemy. The narrative unfolds through a series of vignettes that depict the author's experiences and those of his fellow soldiers as they pursue De Wet, a legendary Boer commander, across the unforgiving landscape of the Karoo. The book goes beyond simply recounting battles and campaigns. It delves into the intricacies of military strategy, exploring the challenges of coordinating large-scale operations in a vast and unforgiving terrain.

Through insightful observations, the author portrays the soldiers' resilience, their moments of camaraderie, and their profound longing for home. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling and unforgettable portrait of a pivotal moment in South African history, one that illuminates the complexities of war, the human spirit's ability to endure, and the enduring power of individual stories.
