Beschreibung

Originally formed in 1940 as the 8th Battalion of the East Lancashire Regiment before conversion to armoured service, the unit was redesignated the 4th Royal Tank Regiment on 1 March 1945. Jolly's narrative offers detailed descriptions of key operations including Operation Pomegranate, Operation Totalize, Operation Astonia, and the Rhine crossing during Operation Plunder. The work is particularly valuable as a primary source on British armoured tactics, combined-arms co-operation with formations such as the 51st (Highland) Infantry Division, and the regiment's evolving operational role-from conventional tank support to specialised amphibious transport using Buffalo LVT vehicles. As both a participant narrative and regimental chronicle, Blue Flash remains a significant documentary record of British armoured warfare in the final year of the European campaign. A Roll of Honour and Awards completes this history.
