From the Dust Jacket: "The origins of the Wiltshire Regiment can be traced back to the raising of the 4th Regiment of Foot in Exeter 1756. It was in 17588 that the 2/4th Foot became the 62nd Regiment. As the 62nd they fought in nearly all the campaigns which became landmarks in the foundation of the British Empire, from the fever-ridden West Indies to the dusty vastness of India. In 1824 the 99th Regiment, with whom, sixty years later, they were to be linked under the Cardwell reforms, was raised in Glasgow and they likewise embarked on a career of fighting in all corners of the globe In 1881, the 62nd and the 99th linked up. they become the 1st and 2nd Battalions the Duke of Edinburgh's Wiltshire Regiment With battalions in all theatres of the 1914-18 war and with a remarkable record in the 1939-45 war, where they particularly distinguished themselves in the fighting round Mount Pincon and in the Seine crossings."

The regiment existed continuously until 2006, when it amalgamated with the King's Own Scottish Borderers to become the Royal Scots Borderers, which merged with the Royal Highland Fusiliers (Princess Margaret's Own Glasgow and Ayrshire Regiment), the Black Watch, the Highlanders (Seaforth, Gordons and Camerons) and the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders to form the Royal Regiment of Scotland.This authoritative, illustrated history is part of the celebrated Famous Regiments series.

Cloth. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. The Royal Hampshire Regiment. Couple of small tears to edge of D/J. In the Fiorst World War the Hampshire had 36 battalions serving - a higher percentage of men than had any other county. But their history is much older that than. Raised in Ireland in 1702 by Thomas Meredith, an officer of William III's army, they began their active career in Marlborough's battles in the War of the Spanish Succession. When regiments were numbered they became the 37th Regiment of Foot and were later united with the 67th and became the North and South Hampshires. They gained numerous battle honours and in the attack on the Taku Forts in China on the morning of 21st August 1860 four of their men were awarded V.C.'s - all won, as tradition has it, 'before breakfast'. There is scarcely a theatre of war in which they have not been seen - India, China, the West Indies, Palestine, Russia, Europe, Malaya, Egypt, Canada; and if there have been long periods in which they have had to fight only diseases of tropical climates, or keep the peace among disorderly factions, their history also glows with action - including the unique battle at Minden in 1759, in which they were one of the infantry regiments who put the French cavalry to rout. The auth, who was in the 10th battalion in the early part of World War II and continued with them during their tranformation into 147th Regiment, Royal Armoured Corps, until the disbandment in 1945, tells the Royal Hampshires' story colourfully and with great attention to narrative interest. Here is no desiccated exploration of brass-hars' battle strategy but a book of immense human interest in which a famous county regiment is seen growing and acquiring its long traditions and heroic record. Illustrated. 128 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

Fine condition book in Fine condition dust wrapper. Loosely inserted full-page hand-written letter dated 15th February 2010 | Ewell 'Dear Josie, The original owner of this volume, Major Doctor Jonathan May, was a former Army colleague of mine, who saw active service in the Middle East and was a Regimental Historian for several years - who went on to be a University Vice Chancellor. Jonathan passed away in 2005 and his military books went to a special Army and Navy Military Library in London. However, this December his family sent me a recently surfaced 'WRAC History', which encompasses FANNY, WAAC, ATS and WRAC, thinking that I might like it!! I responded immediately to say it would shortly be en route to Sandwich and a very appropriate new home. In fact this 'WRAC History' was the only one published and is now quite scarce, and definitely unobtainable in Second Hand Book Shops - even in the triangle of Bristol! At least your family will have a chance to see what you got up to! Warmest regards, Geoff'. Member of the P.B.F.A. MILITARY (Armed Warfare).
