Peter Scott has kindly sent through details of this new book on the New Zealand Divisional Cavalry in Italy from Phil Deed.
BOOK RELEASE
This is the first of three volumes, which focuses on the Italian campaign, and is based on personal, previously unpublished diaries from members of No. 1 Troop and B Squadron, and
covers the departure of the 9th Reinforcements from New Zealand and their experiences in Italy until the war’s end. The book will include over 180 large format photographs from
private and museum collections, the majority of which are previously unpublished, and all will have detailed captions.
Also included in the 205 pages will be seven, coloured, A4-sized maps, coloured vehicle illustrations and associated data, unit formations and war establishments.
These personal accounts, photographs and maps will illustrate aspects of the specific war that the Divisional Cavalry fought.Sometimes the weather conditions were extreme and threw up
more obstacles than the enemy, and at other times boredom was the biggest problem of all. And, like all soldiers, these men feared dying, mourned lost mates, and dreamed of the war
ending and of returning home to family and friends.
RRP $55.00 plus postage
