Description:
London: Leo Cooper, 1969. 137 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H). B&w photographs, reproductions. "Brigadier Humphrey Gore, who raised the 10th Dragoons in 1715, and General Sir David Dawney, Colonel in 1969, each had a son in the regiment, as also did many of the Colonels between them, including King Edward VII, for such close family relationships at all levels were a feature in the Tenth, with the same names appearing generation after generation. Hence in a very intimate way the regiment has always been 'Proud of Their Man'. The Tenth has also always been notable for the Cavalry Spirit, that elusive quality, which has nothing to do with horses, implying light-hearted dash and daring, pride in discipline combined with independence of mind and judgement, the ability to assess odds quickly and take instant and correct decisions, enduring courage and leadership. It was noticeable before Warburg in 1760 in Major Davenport's letters. It was there before they became the Prince of Wales's Own… Read More

Description:
London: Arms and Armour, 1980. 208 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H). B&w plates, maps. "This is the 300-year history of the King's Own Scottish Borderers, one of the oldest Scottish regiments and one of only five surviving infantry regiments of the line in the British Army to have retained their identity since the days they were raised. The bulk of the book, however, is devoted to the Regiment's history over the past hundred years, through both the small wars and the world wars, and the aftermath of Empire. A special place is given to the Korean War and its hard-fought 'Guy Fawkes' battle. The demands on the British soldier in a changing world are also presented - 'The combat suit and the chunky jersey convey the new image, the modern equivalent of the thin red line', says the author, himself an ex-Borderer. His account shows how The King's Own Scottish Borderers serve our country to-day, and draw on a great tradition, so that well do they say: 'Once a Borderer, always… Read More

Throughout Marlborough's campaigns they distinguished themselves as steady, reliable fighting troops, and by the end had earned themselves five battle-honours. The long list of foreign stations includes Canada, America, India, Chitral, South Africa, where the Regiment's mounted infantry company played a large part in the final surrender of the Boers; and so up to the Great War. Twenty-two battalions were raised by the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regiment, battalions who saw action from Flanders to Gallipoli, from Egypt to Jerusalem. The Second War brought the Regiment glory at Dunkirk, in Singapore they lost a whole battalion, their skill as part of General Orde Wingate's Chindits was a source of bewilderment to the enemy; from North Africa to Italy they were an omnipresent menace to whoever tried to stop… Read More

London: Leo Cooper, 1969. 141 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H). B&w photographs, reproductions. "The Royal Highlanders - the Gallant Forty-Two - The Germans christened them 'the ladies from hell'. Down the stormy centuries from Fontenoy to the Hook in Korea Britain's enemies have called them other less printable names. But when they were first raised as a police force to keep the peace in the turbulent and inaccessible Highlands, the locals nick-named them (in Gaelic, of course) the Black Watch. And the menacing name has stuck. Their old 'black' tartan has stuck too, and today is worn by imitators around the world from Tokyo to Trinidad. It was the first kilted regiment in the British army, the original ancestor of all the other famous regiments that were later raised in the Highlands. Until Waterloo Gaelic was the language of the Black Watch, and it is still spoken on occasions. They brought the bagpipes into the British army, because the Highlanders refused to march without… Read More

London: Barrie & Jenkins, 1977. 240 pp, small 4to (10 1/8" H). B&w photographs, reproductions, maps, colour plates. "The Black Watch, since its formation in the 18th century, has been committed in so many engagements in so many parts of the world that its history is indissolubly intertwined with the history of Britain. The War of American Independence, Napoleon's Egyptian campaign, Quatre Bras and Waterloo, the Crimea, the Indian Mutiny, and World Wars I and II - in all these, and more, The Black Watch has played a distinguished part. In (this) history of the Regiment from its formation to its recent duties in Northern Ireland, the spirit, resourcefulness, fierce courage and regimental pride of The Black Watch can be seen throughout. Based on a multitude of contemporary records, diaries and memoirs and fully illustrated, this history was begun by Eric Linklater, himself a private in the Regiment in World War I, who had written several chapters and done much research by the time… Read More

London: Imperial War Museum, 1982. 191 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H). Monotone drawings by Charles Freeman, b&w photographs, maps. "The author's experiences as a platoon commander in the Second World War were shared by many others but few published accounts capture so faithfully the particular flavour of that conflict or the impact of battle on the individual soldier. Norman Craig was a conscript, commissioned after a year in the ranks. He served in three infantry regiments: the Welch in the United Kingdom; the Royal Sussex in the Western Desert, and Iraq and Persia; and the East Surreys in Italy. He saw action at El Alamein and in northern Italy where, only a fortnight before the end of the war in Europe, he was wounded. Between these spells of fighting he was concerned with the routine of soldiering - training, parades, courses, inspections and regimental chores - which occupied the greater part of of a subaltern's time. Norman Craig writes perceptively and with unusual candour about… Read More
