BRITISH INFANTRY 1939
-45
Blenheim,
Quebec, Waterloo, Inkerman, Omdurman, Mons, El
Alamein - the Battle Honours of the British
infantry regiments roll across the pages of history
with a majesty unequaled by any army of the world.
The tradition of unyielding determination under
fire has continued unbroken from the days of
Poitiers and Agincourt to the more recent battles
of the Second World War.
There is no
doubt that the British soldier of the Second World
War lived up to the finest traditions of his
service. The tenacity and courage that held the
field at Waterloo and mowed down the Kaiser's
Guards at Mons were to be found in equal measure in
the fox-holes and rubble of Caen. General
Eisenhower once commented that while he preferred
to use American troops for a quick breakthrough and
pursuit, for the tough battles of attrition, fought
from hole to hole and house to house, no one could
match the British.
