Operation Morning Glory[edit]

Hey, you wouldn't happen to have any information concerning attacks by the 8th Indian Division during "Morning Glory" on December 18, would you? Cam (Chat) 20:52, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My source is The Tiger Triumphs which was an official history of the Indian Divisions in Italy. The exact timing of events is not always clear but it does say "Between 17th and 21st (December) the battlefield was tidied for a decisive trial at arms" (referring to the Indian front)and goes on to describe 8th Indian's drive on Tollo starting on 22 December and the battle at Villa Grande (described as " a heavilly fortified hamlet half-way to Tollo which served as the hinge upon which the defenses of the coastal sector swung). I'll get round to writing this up in due course. No specific mention of Morning Glory. Can you say from your source what Morning Glory was? Sometimes it's possible to align events from different sources by descriptions rather than dates (because sometimes the dates get confused). Stephen Kirrage^{talk - contribs} 23:30, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Morning Glory was the attack designed to knock out German defenses around The Gully and take the Cider Crossroads. Cam (Chat) 03:46, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It failed abysmally. Cam (Chat) 05:09, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unit details[edit]

A huge amount of work has gone into this article recently and it's getting into pretty good shape. However, there is an imbalance in that we have detail on the Allied side down to battalion and sometimes even company level but on the German side we have at best regimental (ie brigade) level detail. Anyone got any sources that can help redress this? Also, having got this far, a full order of battle for both sides would be very useful. Stephen Kirrage^{talk - contribs} 09:51, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I can get order of battle down to the regiment for the 1st Can Infantry Division, 1st Can Armoured Brigade, & 90th Panzergrenadier Division. If you can tackle the Indian & NZ Divisions, we can probably create a separate subpage for the OOB. Cam (Chat) 06:56, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As you can see I've made a start and now am off to bed! Stephen Kirrage^{talk - contribs} 23:02, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Map[edit]

~~With the complex interaction of the fighting in three separate mini-fronts, this article would be much enhanced by a (copyright free) map. Anyone got any ideas?~~ Stephen Kirrage^{talk - contribs} 12:19, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Crossed this out because I created the map myself a few days later and inserted it! Stephen Kirrage^{talk - contribs} 10:51, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

10. Armee[edit]

Is such a translation really necessary? It could patronise the reader and waste his time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.103.145 (talk) 19:05, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
