Qureshi Mohammed Ibrahim (1 results)

First edition, scarce, published to commemorate the regiment's 200th anniversary. "This book was the first serious attempt to record its history in full. The author, an excellent historian, produced a tour de force. His narrative is informative and fluently written, and great care was taken with the presentation, maps, and indexing. The printing and binding are equally good" (Perkins). A contemporary reviewer noted that "Major Qureshi has dealt admirably with the detail and the wider issues His book is a model of what such a book should be" (International Affairs, p. 124).
