The book, written during the war and published soon after it, offers a close account of Third Division from D-Day to the end of the Second World War. Its maps, photographs, and proximity to events are central to the recommendation. The division repeatedly appears at the front of British advances, and its story begins with the amphibious landings in Normandy. The modern Third Division claims continuity with Wellesley's formation and carries the title forward.
