Volume 2 of the Helion Order of Battle series provides a complete guide to the organisation and order of battle of the British and Commonwealth armies from late 1943 to 1945, with five chapters covering all the main theatres of war - North West Europe, Mediterranean, Far East, Australasia and India, planned invasions of Malaya and Japan, and Special Forces (all theatres). TOEs (Tables of Organisation and Equipment) are given for all major and many minor formations in each theatre of war - from the 7th Armoured Division in north-west Europe 1944-45 to Indian infantry formations in the Far East, British SAS and SBS units in Europe and the Mediterranean, and British infantry formations in north-west Europe. It even includes notes on the formations and organisation planned for the invasions of Japan and Malaya. All organisations are analysed down to section level where possible; the listings indicate the type of equipment and weapons used and include explanatory notes. The information is clearly presented in a user-friendly format and contains a wealth of hard-to-find data. There are also notes for wargamers.
