New books from Service Publications

[servicepub (RIP)]

Service Publications is pleased to announce the release of two new titles in the "Weapons of War " series of informative booklets.

"The Sexton in Canadian Service" examines the development and use of one of the Second World War's most effective Self-Propelled guns. Marrying the ubiquitous 25-pdr medium gun to the reliable M4 chassis (in this case the Grizzly variant) gave the Commonwealth armies a formidable weapon which continued in service well past the Korean conflict.

"Engineer Assault Boats in Canadian Service" is the first ever study of these important craft. Rubber assault boats and Folding Boat Equipment are just two of the boats examined in this booklet.

In keeping with the series format both books consist of 24 pages of informative text (averaging 6,500 words), 22+ illustrations, many of which have never seen previously published, and a set of technical drawings. Price is CDN$9.95.
