A Well-known Excellence
So, even Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, Germany's most accomplished battlefield general and scourge of the British soldier, recognized the British artillery as masters of their craft and it is apt that his words are used in the title of this absorbing military autobiography. The author, now 87, fought in all European theaters and took part in the Normandy landings; the book follows his war from enlistment to demobilization and offers very much more than a simple account of life in various battle zones. Uniquely it includes a critical assessment of Claude Auchinleck, Commander-in-Chief Middle East and often referred to as the 'soldier's soldier' and describes the role and function of the artille...
Red Legs of the Bulge
Merriam Press World War II History WH3 First Edition (2014) The Artillery Branch is one of the most complicated of military science. Like the Engineers, it was a technically demanding field. All of the enlisted complements were highly skilled as well. During the war, recruits felt lucky to be assigned to the artillery. They figured it was safer than the infantry. With the exception of being a forward observer, they were correct. Although making up 16% of an infantry division's strength, it only accounted for 3% of the casualties. the foot soldier thought anyone in the artillery lived a life of relative luxury. That situation changed during the Bulge. It was no longer a safe billet. Battery p...

Big Guns, Brave Men
Although it was the largest and final battle of the Pacific War, the Battle for Okinawa has long been overshadowed by other dramatic events in 1945. The books that have been written about it emphasize the role of infantrymen, armor, and U.S. Marines. This work takes a fresh perspective and focuses on the vital role played by the U.S. Army’s forward artillery observers—the eyes and ears of American artillery who were among the least recognized heroes of the war. According to Rodney Earl Walton, U.S. artillerymen matched Japanese gunners in intensity and surpassed them in effectiveness because their forward observers were able to provide a much shorter response time to requests for artille...
