8th Army : El Alamein to the River Sangro, 1942-43

"This collection of General Montgomery's Messages to the Eighth Army traces the journeys of this great fighting force over what was perhaps, up to the present time, the most eventful period of the war; from El Alamein to the capture of Ortona in Italy.  These messages were always eagerly looked forward to by the troops and fostered the spirit and will-to-win that made the Eighth Army such a great and happy family." [signed “F.W. de G. (Freddie de Guingand), "A Collection of General Montgomery's Personal Messages to the Eighth Army: El Alamein - Ortona,  23 October 1942 - 31 December 1943".]
