All the King’s Enemies

This is a remarkable account of the Lincolnshire Gunners during the Second World War. There was probably no unit in the British Army (nor indeed any other army) which served in so many theatres of war. France, Belgium and the retreat from Dunkirk: the South Coast of England where, for many months invasion was expected at any time: North Africa, Iraq (they captured Baghdad), Syria, and back to North Africa: then to India and on to become Chindits in Burma – now becoming infantry, leaving behind their guns.
