T.o.E.'s (Tables of Organisation & Equipment) are given for all main and many minor types of formations in each theatre - from 7th Armoured Division in NW Europe 1944-45, to Indian airborne and infantry formations in the Far East, British SAS & SBS units in Europe and the Med., and British infantry formations in NW Europe. It even includes notes on the formations and organisation planned for British forces participating in the 1946 invasions of Japan and Malaya.

The author has been interested in all things military for over 20 years. His dedicated interest in C20th wargaming has led to him gathering a large collection of ToE data, the first results of which are presented in this book Of the "thirty-something" generation. Mark lives in Lancashire, and has two children, Charlotte and David, who he is glad to announce are avid book readers, even at the age of 4 and 2!
