Author's Note 作者注
For brevity and to avoid repetition, where formations were composed of British, Commonwealth and Allied forces the term ‘British’ has been used. Where Commonwealth units operated independently or require specific mention the national identity is used. ‘British’ can therefore be understood in context as including Canadian, Australian, Indian, New Zealand, South African, Greek, French, Polish and attached units under British command, but is in no way meant to detract from the individual contributions made by these nations.
为简洁起见,为避免重复,在由英国、英联邦和盟军组成的编队中,使用了“英国”一词。如果联邦单位独立运作或需要特别提及,则使用国家身份。因此,“英国”可以在上下文中理解为包括加拿大、澳大利亚、印度、新西兰、南非、希腊、法国、波兰和英国指挥下的附属部队,但这绝不是要贬低这些国家的个人贡献。
While this volume gives much space to a summary of the operations undertaken in the theatre, it is part of a three-volume set, the whole being designed as a concise reference to the British Army of World War II. Readers should refer to the first volume, MAA 354 The British Army 1939-45 (1): North-West Europe for material on basic formation and unit organisation; arms and services; Service Dress, Battledress and Denim uniform; personal equipment; and a range of weapons. More detail on insignia will be found in MAA 187, British Battle Insignia (2): 1939-45, and on personal equipment in MAA 108 (Revised), British Infantry Equipments (2): 1908-2000.
虽然本卷为战区行动的总结提供了大量篇幅,但它是三卷集的一部分,整体设计为对二战英国军队的简明引用。读者应参考第一卷 MAA 354 The British Army 1939-45 (1):西北欧,了解有关基本编队和部队组织的材料;武器和服务;军装、战斗服和牛仔制服;个人设备;以及一系列武器。有关徽章的更多详细信息,请参见 MAA 187,英国战斗徽章 (2):1939-45,以及 MAA 108(修订版),英国步兵装备 (2):1908-2000 中关于个人装备的详细信息。
