Monty's Iron Sides From the Normandy Beaches to Bremen with the 3rd Infantry Division

 

Britain's most legendary general of the twentieth century, Major-General Bernard Montgomery, commanded the British 3rd Division in the Low Countries with great skill and determination during the opening stages of the Second World War, culminating in the Allied evacuation from Dunkirk in 1940. the 3rd Division, which subsequently became known throughout the British Army as Monty's Iron Sides, included in its ranks the general's beloved Royal Warwickshire Regiment of which he had been commanding officer.

Four years later, Monty chose his Iron Sides to spearhead the Allied attack on the Normandy beaches on D-Day. As the only division in the British Liberation Army to participate in the savage fighting from D0Day all the way through to VE-Day, the indomitable Iron Sides were frequently in the thick of the action.

Patrick Delaforce draws on contributions from the dozen fighting regiments of the 3rd Division who proudly wore the sign of the black and red triangles, designed by Monty himself. In Monty's Iron Sides, privates, NCOs and young officers alike relate the stories of their battles in their own words - the words of the soldiers who fought at teh sharp end of war.
