The Royal Scots (The Royal Regiment), once known as the Royal Regiment of Foot, was the oldest and most senior infantry regiment of the line of the British Army, having been raised in 1633 during the reign of Charles I. 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. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: 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.

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).
