	Engagements fought by the 7th Armoured Brigade in 1944
		The Brigade, consisting of three Armoured Regiments, Artillery and sappers, sailed from Suez on the SS Reina Del Pacifico and SS Champollion, through the Suez Canal onto Taranto, on the heel of Italy.
		The Brigade found that apart from occasional shelling the Adriatic front was quiet and peaceful and the Squadrons were harboured among olive groves and oak woodlands.
		Commanded by Brigadier O. Prior-Palmer, the Brigade of four Armoured Regiments were now to be organised as an all-arm pursuit force, debouching across the Foglia River into the plains north of the Marecchia and left flank protection for 1st Armoured Division.

		Brigades which had fought with the 7th Armoured Division in the North African desert and subsequently became independent took with them the jerboa symbol.
		The first UK brigade to deploy to Saudi Arabia after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait evidently descended from one of Montgomery's divisions (same number) and used the same organizational emblem, a silhouette of (I believe) a jerboa rat.
		Reference to the 4th Armoured Brigade in 1938 is an error, for I served with the Heavy Armoured Brigade under Brig.

	EIPS - The Irish Brigade In Italy
		WE ARE about to rejoin the Irish papal brigade as it converges on the Papal States in June 1860.
		De Merode happily dragged the motley ‑ and some talented mercenaries ‑ from as far as Russia and Canada. But once in Rome he felt they should all be one in the Lord’s army and he was most certainly not prepared to hear of any national interest issues, least of all from the Irish.
		So incensed were these returnees to have discovered the true depths of Rome’s treachery that, to Cullen’s dismay, they went straight to the Orange press to get their story out uncensored by the Archbishop’s denials.

		Having strengthened their positions on the Adriatic, the Germans had to withdraw elsewhere, but the Fifth Army found them in general prepared to offer resistance on the high ground north of Florence which formed the approach to the main Gothic Line defences in the Appennino's.
		Here the 2nd Special Service Brigade was landed by sea 1.5 kilometres beyond the town, captured it early on 3rd October, and soon made contact with troops of the 78th Division which, advancing from the south, had established a bridgehead across the Biferno River.
		The Adriatic Sector was left with only a sufficient force to contain the Germans there, while the full weight of the Allied armies was swung to the entrance to the Liri Valley, the gateway to Rome, and the one place where an attack in force could be developed.

	Yugoslav People's Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It eliminated its old divisional infantry organization and established the brigade as the largest operational unit.
		The army converted ten of twelve infantry divisions into twenty-nine tank, mechanized, and mountain infantry brigades with integral artillery, air defense, and antitank regiments.
		The shift to brigade-level organization provided greater operational flexibility, maneuverability, and tactical initiative, and it reduced the possibility that large army units would be destroyed in setpiece engagements with an aggressor.

		Continuing their push up Route 9, on October 21 British V Corps crossed the Savio river which runs north eastwards through Cesena to the Adriatic and by October 25 were closing on the Ronco river, some ten miles beyond the Savio, behind which the Germans had withdrawn.

		On this brigade front as on that of its neighbour, there was no action at all during November, the only losses being caused by an unlucky Bulgar shell which fell in a group of Dublin Fusiliers, killing nine and wounding a dozen.
		The 30th Brigade had a line which made a salient, and was thus considerably exposed, and it became clear that they were to be the object of the main Bulgar attack.
		The other brigades came down by road, and the worn-out 10th Division then went into camp at Kapudjilar just outside Salonica, until it was moved up to hold the line along the lakes and across to Stavros, which was made part of the entrenched camp.

		However, the dividing line was shifted westwards, to allow the concentration of both armies on the western side of Italy for maximum firepower to break through to Rome.
		Fifth Army was relieved of responsibility for Cassino and the final phases of that battle saw Indian, New Zealand and finally Polish troops thrown against the fortress.
		The German units, in the main, were pinned against the Po River and destroyed, or at the very least deprived of their transport and heavy weapons, which effectively made many of them useless.

	Italian Resistance
		The partisans' success was largely attributable to the arms and supplies parachuted to them by the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) and the OSS and to the brilliance of the intelligence networks developed by members of the Resistance in constant touch with Fifteenth Army Group headquarters via secret radios.
		On the other hand, extremely accurate information gathered by the partisans, often directly from Kesselring's own headquarters, was sent via a secret OSS radio in Rome, on the air as many as five times a day, to be received simultaneously in Caserta and on the beachhead in time to repel these attacks.
		Finding the partisans well organized and in harmony with the local population, Minetto set up his radio in a hilltop castle and then went on an inspection tour to apprise a network of partisan informers of just what was needed and how it should be speedily couriered to the radio.
