SB xvi+308pp.portraits,plates, maps, 2003 N&MP Reprint of 1925 Original EditionPublished Price £22 The Queenâ s (Royal West Surrey Regiment) was the second oldest regiment of the line, the 2nd Foot. This volume of the regimental history is the story of the regiment in the Great War during which the original five battalions (two regular, one special reserve and two territorial) expanded to twenty-seven, five of which were raised as Labour battalions. In June 1917 these were taken over by the Labour Corps which had been formed two months earlier. Of the remaining battalions eleven went on active service, the rest did not leave the UK. This book deals with all of them, taking each battalion in turn, so there is little room for detail, especially in the case of those battalions that did not serve overseas, which are dealt with very briefly. Most space is allotted to the 1st and 2nd Battalions, nearly half the book. The regiment was awarded 74 Battle Honours, the fourth highest number awarded to a regiment, and four VCs two of which were to officers serving with other units. It is strange that one of the two who won the award while serving in one of the battalions, L/cpl W.Sayer of the 8th Battalion, doesnâ t rate a mention in the book. Personnel losses amounted to 8,000. There is a very good photo of the 1st Battalion on parade on mobilization, some 1,000 officers and men; next to it is a photo of the same battalion parading on 9th November 1914 at the end of First Ypres - two officers and about forty men. Battalions of the regiment served in all theatres of war: Western Front, Italy, Gallipoli, India, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Palestine and India. Macedonia is also included on the war memorial thus acknowledging 95th and 96th Labour Companies which had started out life as the 14th Queenâ s. The narrative describing the actions of the battalions gives names of officers present for duty at various times, reports casualties and names individuals in action; but there is no roll of honour nor lists of honours and awards. There is a good index.

2011 N & M Press reprint (original pub 1932). SB. xix + 407 pp portraits, Plates, maps & plansPublished Price £22 The definitive history of one of the British armyâ s most distinguished units, the Loyal North Lancashire regiment, from 1741 to the eve of the Great War. Within a few years of its foundation the regiment took part in the losing battle against the Jacobites at Prestonpans outside Edinburgh in 1745, was on the winning side at Quebec in 1759, lost again during the American War of Independence before winning glory in the Peninsular War when its battalions fought with Sir John Moore at Corunna and with Wellington at Vittoria, St Sebastian, Bidoassa, the Nivelle and the Nive, winning a record number of battle honours. The Lancashires fought in Burma and the Crimea and the final chapters of this fine unit history look at the effects of them of the Volunteer movement and the foundation of the Territorial Army.

SB vii+135pp. Portraits, plates, maps. 2004 N&MP Reprint of 1929 Original Edition Published Price £15.50 A compact and competent history of this Indian Army unit, first raised in the Punjab in the 1840s. It was intended for internal security work and to guard the always turbulent North-West Frontier. Its first active operations, however, were in helping to quell the Indian Mutiny of 1857-58. Under Gen. Sir Hope Grant it served at Mardan, Lucknow and through Oude, ending up on the border with Nepal. After the Mutiny, it became part of the Punjab Frontier Force. It took part in the second Afghan War as part of the Kurram Valley Field Force, fighting at the Peiwar Kotal, Charasia, Deh-Afghana and defending the Sherpur Cantonment. In the 1880s it operated against the Mahsud tribesmen. During the Great War, the regiment sailed for France and fought at the 1915 battles of Festubert, Neuve Chapelle, and Aubers Ridge. It was then ordered to Egypt, and took part in the Palestine campaign, helping to occupy Jerusalem. In the 1920s the unit took part in operations against Afghanistan and the Waziris. The text of this book is accompanied by five appendices with awards and Rolls of Honour from the Great War and Indian operations. There are 13 illustrations and six maps.

2003 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1925). HB. x + 224pp with 26 b/w photos and 12 maps (4 in colour) In this history the two battalions are dealt with separately but the list of Honours and Awards combines both battalions. When war broke out the 1st Battalion was in Bombay and sailed for home on 3 Sep 1914, arriving on 2 October and joining the newly formed regular division, the 8th. They landed in France on 5 November 1914 taking part in the battles of Neuve Chapelle, Aubers Ridge and Loos. Both the regimentâ s VCs were won by the 1st Battalion, at Neuve Chapelle and during the Aubers Ridge battle. Subsequently the narrative describes the battalionâ s part on the Somme, at Third Ypres, at Villers Bretonneux and the Chemin des Dames in 1918, and the Second Battle of Arras. The 2nd Battalion in August 1914 was stationed in Sheffield, part of the 18th Brigade of the 6th Division which was widely dispersed with two brigades in Ireland and one in Northern Command. They landed in France in September 1914 and after taking part in the Battle of the Aisne moved north to the Ypres salient where the division stayed for the next thirteen months sustaining some 11,000 casualties before moving down to the Somme. The battalion fought at Lens in June/July 1917 suffering losses of 183 or a quarter of its trench strength, and it was also at Cambrai.Wyllyâ s is a factual, unembellished account avoiding dramatics. Casualty figures are given from time to time following actions with individual officers named, as are officers with incoming drafts. After the war a memorial tower was erected at the summit of Crich Cliff, near Ripley, to be seen for miles around. The account of its opening, on 6th August of some unspecified year is reproduced from the Derbyshire Advertiser: It commemorates 11,409 of the Regiment who died in the Great War and the 140,000 who served in its thirty-two battalions.

SB xvi+424pp ,maps,(9 in colour) i & illustrations 2003 N&MP Reprint of 1890 Original EditionPublished Price £22 The author of these splendid memoirs had a long and distinguished military career, beginning with the retreat to Corunna under Sir John Moore, and ending some sixty years later with his participation in the Sikh Wars in Gujerat. During more than half-a-centuryâ s military experience, Lieut. Gen. Sir Joseph Thackwell served with the 15th Hussars in Portugal and Spain, was present under Wellington at the battle of Vitoria and later at the battles of Orthes and Toulouse. Fighting at Waterloo, Captain Thackwell was severely wounded. Succeeding to the command of the 15th Hussars, Col. Thackwell took part in putting down the Luddite Riots in Nottingham in the depression which followed the end of the Napolonic Wars. As a Major General, he commanded the cavalry in the Army of the Indus, marched on Khandahar in the Afghan Wars and took part in the storming of Ghuznee. Thackwell played a prominent part in the Sikh Wars, commanding a division in the Army of the Sutlej, and the 3rd Division in the Army of the Punjab. He was present at Aliwal, Sobraon, Chillianwallah, and Gujerat. Thackwellâ s memoirs, edited posthumously by Col. H.C. Wylly in 1908, shed an important light on the career of a British 19th century cavalry officer, and on his campaigns in the Napoleonic, Afghan and Sikh Wars. The book is illustrated by a frontispiece of the author, eight coloured battle plans and maps, four appendices on the Indian campaigns, and an index.

HB xxv+505pp Maps 2003 N&MP Reprint of 1912 Original Edition A classic account of what the author calls the â wild menâ of the Indian North-West Frontier, and of the â equally wild countryâ in which Britain did battle with them in the years before the Great War. The author, who served in the region with the Tirah Expeditionary Force, wrote the book to fill a gap in modern military accounts of campaigns in the area, which, after the fall of the Sikh empire, was the most troubling thorn in the flesh of the British Raj. The author begins by describing the fierce Pathan tribes; their military qualities and passionate blood feuds. He next deals with the â Black Mountain Tribesâ - the Swatis, Akazais, and Hassaanzais. Later chapters deal with the people of the Peshawar valley; the â Hindustani fanaticsâ and the operations mounted aginast them after the Indian Mutiny; the Malakand Field Force - the subject of Winston Churchillâ s first book -; the Utman Khels; Chitralis; Mohmands; the Afridis of the Khyber pass; the Orakzais and the peoples of Waziristan. Altogether, this is a comprehensive account of some of the most difficult and protracted fighting waged by the British Army in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Forget â Carry On Up the Khyberâ : life and death on the Frontier was certainly no joke. The book is accompanied by a series of maps and a table of the many expeditions mounted against the north-west tribes.

SB. xiv + 293 & xiv + 359pp with 11 colour plates (nine of uniform) & 11 maps & plans (five in colour)Published Price £48 This is a history of three regiments: Vol I The 63rd and 96th Foot; Vol II The Manchester Regiment. The 63rd began as 2nd Battalion 8th Foot in 1756; in 1758 it became a separate regiment, was numbered 63 and almost immediately sent to Guadeloupe with an expedition against the French. Subsequently it fought in the American War of Independence, in Flanders and the ill-fated Walcheren expedition, in the Crimea, India and Burma and the 2nd Afghan War, gaining fifteen battle honours in all. The 96th, raised in 1824, was the sixth regiment to have that number, taking the Egyptian and Peninsular honours of its immediate predecessor, 96th Queenâ s Own, disbanded in 1818. It fought in the First Maori War adding the battle honour â New Zealandâ to the other two. Volume II is concerned with the regular battalions of The Manchester Regiment which came into being in 1881 with the Cardwell Reforms, when the 63rd and 96th were paired to form the 1st and 2nd Battalions respectively of the new regiment. Both battalions fought in the S African war and in 1900 two more regular battalions, 3rd and 4th, were formed, both were in the S African war and both were disbanded in 1906. In the Great War there were 42 battalions but this volume deals only with the 1st and 2nd Battalions. The 1st served with the 3rd (Lahore) Division on the Western Front, in Mesopotamia and Palestine, the 2nd on the Western Front from Mons to the Armistice, first with 5th Division, and then from the end of 1915 with the 32nd Division.The final chapter provides comprehensive and historically valuable details for the three regiments on uniforms, Colours, badges, weapons, equipment, followed by several useful and interesting appendices. There is correspondence (1922-23) requesting the restoration of the Fleur de Lys cap badge of the 63rd Ft to replace the much disliked Manchester City Coat of Arms cap badge, a badge which was worn by "every worker in the employment of the City corporation.â (request approved). There is the succession of Colonels and an alphabetical roll of regimental officers from 1758 to 1923 showng dates of service with the Regiment, dates of promotion and date and reason for being struck off. The list of Honours and Awards, including foreign, is for all three regiments, Incidentally the heading for the Order of the British Empire should read "Most Excellentâ ; the names listed here do not indicate which of the five grades was awarded. Citations of 14 VC awards are given. Officers of the 1st and 2nd Battalions killed in action in the Great War are shown by name, for the rest there is a table summarising the total dead by battalions, giving an overall figure of 14,122 of whom 723 were officers: the total number of casualties of all types numbered some 45,000.
