This is the fourth edition of The Imjin Roll printed in 2011. The battle honour Imjin is one of 36 carried on the Regimental Colour of the 1st Battalion the Gloucestershire Regiment. All are remembered with pride. One hundred and fifty years later at Imjin, the successors to the old 28th Foot were to fight for three days and nights completely surrounded and were to earn another unique distinction for the Regiment - the United States Presidential Distinguished Unit Citation. Its insignia, a blue streamer inscribed Solma-Ri, is carried on the pike of the regimental colour. Fought during the Korean War (1950-53), the Battle of the Imjin (22-25 April 1951) was the bloodiest engagement endured by the British Army since the Second World War. For three days the 29th British Independent Infantry Brigade Group thwarted the Chinese Spring Offensive. Ref E 7.

Condition: New. 2012 N & M Press reprint (original pub 1938). SB. xi+372 pp, Illustrations & MapsPublished Price £20 A sound and stirring history of the mounted forces recruited during the âscramble for Africaâ of the late 19th century to help guard Britainâs huge imperial possessions in South Africa and Rhodesia. The British South Africa Police had a vast territory to patrol, and Colonel Harding, the author of this history, took part in its campaigns against risings by Rhodesiaâs two major tribes - the Mashona and the Matabele - along with the Jameson Raid, the famous precursor to the Boer War, and the Boer War itself.
