L’infanterie britannique

L’infanterie, engagée dans la campagne du Nord-Ouest de l’Europe s’articule autour de trois brigades d’infanterie soutenues par un important contingent d’armes et de services d’appui leur permettant un engagement sur une longue période.

Chaque division d’infanterie est organisée de la même manière.
