Since the creation of the standing army in 1661, when each regiment
was known by the name of its current colonel, there have been many
reforms and rationalizations of the British army. From 31 cavalry
regiments and 113 infantry regiments in 1881, at the time of this
title's first publication in 1988, the army had reduced to just 16
regiments of armour and 39 regiments of infantry through processes
of absorption and amalgamation. The Handbook of British Regiments
provides insight into the lineage and history of the approximately
85 regiments and corps which formed the British army towards the
end of the 1980s. Comprehensive in coverage, each has a separate
entry giving factual details in a layout standardized for easy
comparison, including current title, colonel-in-chief, uniform and
history, amongst others. A key title amongst Routledge reference
reissues, this handbook provides an accessible guide to specialists
as well as lay enthusiasts, and illustrates a sense of the
continuity and inherited tradition of each regiment and corps.
