This book, a continuation of volumes one and two, completes the
study of more than a hundred British regiments all of whom played
more than important roles in world history. In testing times, on
foreign adventures victorious, glorious and sometimes disastrous,
they have helped shape the history of the British Isles. In this
third volume thirty-four regiments are featured - their battle
honours, badges and most famous sons - including the stories of the
heroic actions of their Victoria Cross holders. Each regiment's
section includes artworks and photographs illustrating insignia,
uniforms and soldiers in action down through the centuries. While
the tales of courage and loss are in themselves enthralling, Dorian
Bond divulges many interesting facts about these unique bodies of
men: how did the 22nd (Cheshire) Regiment get their acorn and oak
leaf badge? Which South Staffordshire man became the inspiration
for Terence Rattigan's The Winslow Boy? Did you know that a
princess wrote 'The Royal Windsor' quick march for the 29th of
Foot, later the Worcestershire Regiment? Covering action wherever
the regiments found it, from the High Veldt of South Africa to the
grim trenches of Passchendaele and from the disaster of Dunkirk to
the triumph of Waterloo, Famous Regiments of the British Army
Volume Three tells the stories of some of the world's most famous
battles and the role these regiments played in them.
