 |  British Divisional Histories of WW2 - is there a comprehensive list? Does such a list exist anywhere? I have been trying to track one down so I know what I am missing... Perkins bibliography is good for Commonwealth divisions, but White does not appear to list British divisions. I am interested in both the original wave published in the late 40s/50s, as well as those published in the last 10 years or so (mainly it seems by Patrick Delaforce). Amongst the former category I can think of: Guards Armoured x 2 (at least) 7th Armoured 11th Armoured 43rd 53rd 59th 79th Armoured In the latter I think are: 7th Armoured (? 2 vols) 49th 51st 78th bound to be some more out there.
