Books, Manuscripts
From 1939 to 1945, units of The King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry were involved in some of the fiercest battles of the Second World War. From the snowy wastes of Scandinavia to the deserts of North Africa, and from the mountains of Italy to the steaming jungles of Asia, the men of the KOYLI fought against the forces of all three of the dictatorships that came so close to conquering the world. Illustrated throughout with over 100 photographs and maps, this new history offers a unique and detailed look at one of the Second World War's most extraordinary regiments.
