Book Synopsis Longshore Soldiers by : Andrew Brozyna
Download or read book Longshore Soldiers written by Andrew Brozyna. This book was released on 2012-08-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longshore Soldiers chronicles the wartime experiences of port battalion veterans, part of the US Army's Transportation Corps. This battalion, along with all others of the Corps, were responsible for ensuring military materiel was delivered to the front line, allowing the fighting to continue without delay; an essential part of the Allied war effort. Andrew Brozyna, grandson of one of the veterans, traces the stories of the veterans from training in the United States to supplying the British at El Alamein, dock work in Antwerp, supplying the beaches of Normandy as part of D-Day and finally to deactivation. While this is a subject that might not be as instantly recognizable for most military history fans, Brozyna offers a compelling narrative, packed with first-hand accounts and personal histories, of an overlooked aspect of the Second World War. Longshore Soldiers examines the logistics of the European theatre and how these veterans vitally kept the Allied armies moving as they marched into the Reich.

Book Synopsis The Soldiers of America's First Army, 1791 by : Richard M. Lytle
Download or read book The Soldiers of America's First Army, 1791 written by Richard M. Lytle. This book was released on 2004. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1791 marked one of the worst military defeats the United States Army ever suffered. As Major General Arthur St. Clair led both regular Army and militia levee soldiers to the banks of the Wabash River, Native Americans rose to stop them--and stop the Army they did. In this fascinating study, Richard Lytle gives historians, genealogists, and local history buffs a monumental resource for the study of St. Clair's soldiers. Not only a detailed narrative of this campaign, this is also the most complete roster of soldiers available, and a comprehensive description of their origins, equipment and organization. This resource assembles in one place both the narrative and hard to find reference materials that genealogists and historians need to research and better understand this seminal event in America's westward growth.
