Default Re: 8 Armoured Brigade 42-45

If you have the time would love to see (or even play) a campaign for "The Polar Bears from Sheffield" - The Hallamshires!

I live in Sheffield and have the great book by Don Scott (signed by the author), which is a collection of diaries, letters, photos and recollections of the unit during WWII (including their time in Iceland and Normandy).

If you need any further info may I recommend an article which was written in 1948 for our local newspaper about the unit HERE.

I understand if you dont have the time (Or inclination). It is something I had thought about creating a scenario for at one point depicting the fighting around the "Depot de Mendicite" where Cpl. Harper won his VC (and lost his life).
