Synopsis

E Company were a support company of 198 officers and men, delivering heavy weapon support to F, G and H Companies. E Company was divided into five platoons, of which three were Anti-Tank platoons (equipped with 6-pounder A/Tk. guns) and two were MMG platoons (equipped with water-cooled Vickers.303 Medium Machine Guns). A nominal roll of officers and men showing KIA and DOW concludes this interesting history. Immediately after the war E, F, G and H Companies each published a booklet - roughly 100 pages - describing their exploits during the campaign through France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. It seems the 8th Rifle Brigade was quite unique in this respect, as usually such histories were only produced at battalion or divisional level. All of these unique works have now been reprinted by N&MP
