Lieutenant - General Horrocks - An album containing black & white photographs and newspaper cuttings relating to Lieutenant-General Horrocks and the British campaign in North Africa, Rhineland and the action at Arnhem, many signed by Field Marshal Montgomery. The Mentioned in a Despatch for Distinguished Service Citation to Major-General (A/Lieutenant General) B.G. Horrocks, D.S.O., M.C. `A Doodle by Winston Churchill, dated 1944`, 25cm x 36cm October 16th 1944 The `Dog` Horrocks Horrocks is 49. He has been a soldier since 1914 when he went to France as a young lieutenant. In 1915 he was wounded and captured by the Germans. He tried to escape so many times by burrowing holes under buildings and barbed-wire entanglements that his friends called him the `Dog`, finally near the end of the war, he did escape and for his perseverence and determination was awarded the Military Cross. Horrocks had never lost a battle or suffered even a minor defeat. He is probably the most energetic and daring British Commander in France today. Montgomery gives him the greatest freedom in planning his battles and he usually has his choice of divisions for specific attacks, like Montgomery he detests paperwork and will not do it, instead, he gathers around himself some of the best staff officers in the British Army. He makes quick, lasting decisions, he never hesitates................. Guts Horrocks. - When he was wounded in Africa three years ago in the stomach, the Army thought they had lost one of their most brilliant `unknown` Generals, for days he lay near death. But it took more than the German shell splinters to put General Brian Gwynne Horrocks down for the count. Now he`s leading the Second Army`s tanks on the road to Berlin. You may never had heard of 49-year-old, tall, lean Horrocks before. He has hardly ever hit the headlines, has a horror of personal publicity, but has succeeded in getting very near the top of the tree by doggedness. Between the wars he studied tank tactics, was always seen at the Staff College, Camberley, with a book by Fuller or Guderian under his arm, was known affectionately but laughingly as `Tank Horrocks`..............

II, p146, fig. 263).
