Talk:Twelfth Army (United Kingdom)

Improvements planned, help wanted
I've made a start on expanding the article by incorporating much of the information on the fictitious 12th Army that was created for use in the Mediterranean and Middle East from the book The Deceivers: Allied Military Deception in the Second World War by Thaddeus Holt. However there are some things I need to nail down such as the notional composition of the British III Corps at the time it was attached to the 12th Army. Similarly, if it can be found, a copy of the 'Husky' order of battle for the 12th Army would be immensely useful. Finally I'd like to ask one of the more graphically inclined members of Wikipedia to consider making graphics of the formation insignia.Graham1973 (talk) 12:28, 6 March 2011 (UTC)


 * The official history of the British strategic deception effort during World War II has a lot about how this 'army' was used. I've added a bit, but there's lots more which is worth adding (it's online at Google books here Nick-D (talk) 10:13, 9 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Found a notional Barclay Orbat for the 12th British Army in a online thesis.
