Two supplement volumes round off the British and Commonwealth Armies series. Supplement Volume 2 contains five chapters providing data covering formations in North Africa, the Mediterranean, Africa, the Home front, overseas garrisons and Special Forces. The units covered range from the South African 6th Armoured Division to the 1940-41 garrison of Iceland.

Careful presentation combined with a host of hard-to-find information ensure this will be the standard source for order-of-battle data about the British and Commonwealth armies. All organisations are analysed down to platoon level, and listings include specific types of equipment and weaponry used, along with explanatory notes.
