Summary edit

Description

Men of the 2nd Battalion, Sherwood Foresters Regiment firing a captured German MG42 machine gun, Tunisia, 27 April 1943.

The 2nd Battalion was part of the 1st Infantry Division by 1939, joining the British Expeditionary Force to France. After being evacuated at Dunkirk, it saw no action until it was sent to North Africa where it became part of the British First Army and took part in the final stages of the Tunisian Campaign. In 1944, it was one of the battalions that disembarked at Anzio, suffering extremely heavy casualties. In 1945, the unit was sent to Palestine, where it did not carry any major action until the end of the war.
