Condition: New. SB,236pp,portraits, plate, plans, maps. 2002 N&MP Reprint of 1908 Original EditionPublished Price £14.99 This history is introduced by the regiment's most famous officer, General Sir Horace Smith-Dorrien whose picture appears on the front cover. He gives an outline of the events of the war prior to the arrival of the battalion in December 1899, two months after the outbreak of hostilities. When war was declared the battalion was stationed in Malta (Smith Dorrien commanding), where it was joined by a draft of 8 officers and 356 reservists and immediately sailed for S Africa, proceeding down the east coast with a brief stopover at Zanzibar - the first British battalion to set foot on that island. 1st Sherwood Foresters arrived in Durban in December 1899 during what came to be known as "Black Week" when the British Army suffered three heavy defeats at Stormberg, Magersfontein and Colenso. The battalion remained in S Africa throughout the war and the extent of its activities are reflected in the clasps to the Queen's South Africa Medal for which its members could qualify - Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Transvaal, Johannesburg and Diamond Hill. The battalion also provided manpower for two Mounted Infantry (MI) companies, 1st and 2nd Derbyshire and their exploits are also recorded. Two VCs were won, one by the battalion, the other by 2nd MI Company.This is a very full account and there are some useful appendices, one detailing the casualties by rank and name and place, and in the case of the wounded stating whether severe or slight, followed by a summary in tabular form. This shows a total of 258 casualties which includes 118 deaths, 65 due to enemy action and 53 due to disease. Another appendix lists all officers, NCOs and Drummers who embarked for active service with the battalion, and another gives details of those recommended by the CO for their service and what award was given. This table includes Mentioned in Despatches with date and author of the Despatch (Roberts or Kitchener). Finally there is a good index. Book.…

Condition: New. 2004 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1921). SB. xx + 227pp with 2maps and 85 contemporary photos.Published Price £18 An apparently obscure sidebar to the Great War that has suddenly acquired topical resonance is the struggle against the Turkish Ottoman forces in Mesopotamia (modern Iraq). Then, even more than today, control of the country depended on keeping the twin great rivers of the Tigris and Euphrates open. This book narrates the work undertaken by the officers and men of the Inland Water Transport (IWT) assigned to deliver supplies to the large British army in Mesopotamia by water. So successful were they that, by the end of the war, the river system, backed up by railways, was taking nearly 3,000 tons a day in a fleet of 2,000 craft up to 500 miles upriver from the port of Basra - then as now the main British base in the region. As a result of this miracle of organisation, the enemy was driven from Kut to Baghdad to Mosul. If only it was like that today! Illustrated with maps, sketches and photos and seven appendices on the IWT's work. Book.…

Condition: New. 2004 N & M Press reprint (original 1857). SB.361 pp +5 mapsPublished Price £14.50 'Peccavi' - the Latin for 'I have sinned' - was the punning one-word telegram with which General Sir Charles Napier announced to the world his 1843 capture of Scinde (or Sind). Napier, a much wounded 61-year-old veteran of the Peninsula War, was placed in charge of the turbulent province, whose ruling Emirs, encouraged by British reverses in nearby Afghanistan, rose against Britain's power. Napier's forces routed the Emirs at the battles of Meanee and Hyderabad and the region became a key part of British India, making Napier into a popular Victorian hero. Unsurprisingly, Sir William Napier, the author of this work, is an uncritical admirer of his brother and fellow General, and is unsparing in his critique of those he perceives as Charles Napier's British enemies in the bureaucratic turf wars of the Raj. With 12 appendices and several endpaper maps. Book.…

Condition: New. 2009 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1909). SB 312pp + map.Published Price £14.50 William Warre was the spirited scion of one of the great commercial dynasties which helped make Portugal Britain's oldest ally. Brought up in Oporto, his nature was too fiery to take kindly to the dull business of exporting port, and he gratefully left the family firm to take up a military career after sticking the pigtails of his father's Portuguese partner to his desk with sealing wax while the man was sleeping off a liquid lunch. Warre returned to his native city as a young staff officer in 1808, and thereafter witnessed most of the major actions of the conflict at close quarters. He took part in Sir John Moore's winter retreat to Corunna; the storming of the fortress of Ciudad Rodrigo, personally accepted the sword of the surrendering French commander of Badajoz after the famous siege; and fought at Vimieiro and Salamanca among many other actions. After the latter battle he was given the important task of reorganising the Portuguese Army and was Britain's liasion man at the Portuguese court in Lisbon. This volume is composed of letters to Warre's parents. He describes not only the military actions in which he was engaged, but also recounts the gossip among his fellow Staff officers and his own frank observations on the foibles of his Portuguese allies.
