The Bren Gun with the British Infantry: 1938-1941

Description

This book is an in-depth study of the Bren light machine gun in service with the British infantry in the early years of the Second World War. Constructed as a ‘capability primer’ it uses a reworked version of Rich’s research method of ‘TEPIDOIL’ to analyse the Bren gun’s role. This covers:

• Equipment – what did Bren gunners need?
• Personnel – who were they and where did they come from?
• Training – how were they trained?
• Doctrine, including tactics – how did they fight?
• Information – what did they need to know?
• Organisation – how were they structured?
• Logistics – how did the people and equipment get to where they needed to fight?
• Infrastructure – where was their equipment built and where were they trained?

This is an A5 book of around 100 inner pages with a mix of colour detail recreated pictures and picked original photographs from the Second World War.
