 | There was a Timewatch about the mutiny of wounded 51st Division troops some years back and it is repeated on UK History. Is this the right episode? Also, are you still looking for reviewers for the Lunatics of WW1 book? I'd be quite happy to do so and can give you my qualifications for conducting such a service in a PM. Cheers Richard

| I have found 'Mutiny at Salerno' Ryan The most well known book is the one you cite "Mutiny at Salerno : An Injustice Exposed". Are there no others mentioned in the bibliography? Of course, there is passing mention of the event in some of the books on Salerno and on Italy in general. However, you will probably find the most in "Mutiny in the British and Commonwealth Forces, 1797-1956" by James, Lawrence, available on Abes Books. Dick That is the correct episode. |

|  Eric Morris's "Salerno: A Military Fiasco: and "Operation Avalanche," by Des Hickey and Gus Smith should cover this ground as well. "The Sharp End" by John Ellis has a great chapter on mliitary morale, including mutinies in general, this one in particular.
