"Ask any ex-army man which was the best Div and the answer will always be "My Div !" How true and probably a fair answer!! regards Robert
Stumbled on this via another search, From a bloke most have heard of, Erwin Rommel. He knew a bit about Infantry warfare. "The Australian 9th Division, the finest Infantry Division I ever faced" From the 'Rommel Papers' I believe. John 6412
Not disagreeing but seeing that every time he faced the 9th he got beaten so perhaps Rommel was just making one of his many excuses ie I only got beaten because they were the best. But otherwise it would be unfair to all the rest who fought in NA to try to pick out a best, most of them fought with grit and determination and lots of them paid for their service with their lives. Can't do any more than that.
Good ones from every country. The American 442 "Go for Broke" regiment was certainly a good one. 442nd Infantry Regiment (United States) - Wikipedia
