	AFS in WWII, Expanding Horizons: Act II, Middle East. With the British Army. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The British Minister in Beirut happened to be a man of great determination, capable of making quick decisions, and incapable of asking himself whether or not he would get into trouble for doing his duty; he acted instantly with energy and decision.
		For the British the Middle East was only just less important to the waging of the war than their own homeland; for it contained round Mosul, in Iraq, and at the head of the Persian Gulf the oilfields without which the Royal Air Force, the Army and the Royal Navy would be paralysed.
		The British Chiefs of Staff had appreciated for some time that their command structure in the Middle East was inadequate to meet a threat of this magnitude.

	Fire and Fury Games' Battlefront:WWII British Artillery
		The British sacrificed some accuracy for speed, and their larger patterns tend to be somewhat wider than those of their American cousins.
		British Artillery was never "in reserve", even if the combat formation it was supporting was not in contact with the enemy.
		However, in the British system, regiments had a pool of 'first reinforcements' which included a Captain as well as more junior officers, and in if an observer became a casualty the Battery Commander would order one of the gun position officers up to the line as a replacement.

		A mildmannered man with a high-pitched voice, General Bradley created the impression less of a soldier than of a teacher, which he actually was during much of his early career in the Army (at the U. Military Academy and the Infantry School).
		Early in World War II he served as commandant of the Infantry School, commanded an infantry division in training, and in the spring of 1943 commanded the 2d Corps in North Africa and later in Sicily.
		Bradley missed full encirclement of a German army in Normandy, but this was generally attributed to the delayed advance of troops under British command.

		An interesting thins is that in case of Germans being more lucky in 1914-15 in the Eastern front, this could lead them to faster collapse and could prevent Russian revolution; Russia fought the WWI along her western borders, so the internal territories weren`t touched by the war.

		At the northern shoulder of the penetration, divisions of the V Corps refused to budge from the vicinity of Monschau, thereby denying critical roads to the enemy and limiting the width of the penetration.
