Description

The book is a well-illustrated pioneer study, with exhaustive information, of the use of railways to support the British Expeditionary Force during the early months of the Second World War, the period before the Dunkirk evacuation. The book is a successor to the author’s pioneer study of the use of railways during the First World War and is by one of the leading railway historians of our time. The trains of the War Department carried the famous ‘WD’ logo reproduced on the cover. The book not only provides the first detailed account of the use of these locomotives during the campaign but also chronicles the fate of the engines during the remainder of the war and their eventual return to Britain, so an essential gap-filler for all those interested in railway history and historians of the logistics of the Second World War.
