Description
The Royal Northumberland Fusiliers in the Second World War by C. N. Barclay provides a detailed account of the regiment's history from the end of the Great War to the end of the Second World War. From its conversion to a machine-gun regiment in 1937, the RNF underwent significant changes, with some battalions taking on additional roles such as Search Light or Reconnaissance units. The book explores these developments and the various campaigns the regiment participated in, including France, North Africa, Singapore, Italy, Egypt, Syria, Palestine, Northwest Europe, India, and Greece. The narrative is structured chronologically, although there are some exceptions to allow for continuity within each battalion's story. With a total of 895 recorded deaths, two VCs awarded, and 29 Battle Honours, the RNF played an important role in the Second World War.
