With the exponential growth in manpower from 1941 onwards, these brightly coloured insignia proliferated and contributed to the esprit de corps of the newly formed units. This guide presents, for the first time in colour and in English, all the insignia of the major ground forces units in Europe, Asia and the Pacific, along with their principal variants and a brief history.
