W O M E N - I N - M I L I T A R Y Women in the military have always sparked debate. Over the years, their roles have evolved significantly. From the first female nurses in the Royal Navy during the 1880s to women flying RAF combat aircraft in the 1990s, progress has been steady. Today, women can even serve in close combat units. This change brings the UK more in line with its allies and represents a big step forward. Here are some examples of the incredible roles women hold today: a female RAF weapons technician, fine equestrians from the British Army's King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery, and both flight deck and embarked personnel from the Royal Navy. Do you know any women who have served or serving? Are you a woman currently serving or who has served? How do you feel about these changes and the evolving roles of women in the military?

'The Noise of Battle' by Tony Colvin, now available in a new edition, offers a detailed examination of the British Army’s final breakthrough west of the Rhine in early 1945. Focusing on the critical Rhineland battles in February and March, this book provides a clear and comprehensive look at one of the last major operations of World War II. Structured in three main parts, the book first outlines the key battles (Part I), including The Battle of the Rhineland, The Battle of Kervenheim, and The Battle of Winnekendonk. These chapters offer a step-by-step analysis of each engagement, with clear maps and tactical overviews that highlight the challenges faced by British forces and their adversaries, the German paratroopers and infantry. Part II shifts focus to those involved, providing insight into the various military divisions, from the 3rd British Infantry Division to the 8th Fallschirmjäger Division, as well as civilians caught in the conflict. These sections are enriched with personal accounts, offering a human perspective on the war’s impact beyond strategic movements. Finally, Part III, Why? An Explanation, explores the reasons behind the operational decisions and outcomes, analyzing the broader military strategy of the time. This section provides crucial context for understanding the importance of the battles west of the Rhine in shaping the final phase of the war in Europe.
