The unique history of 'The Micks' - the Irish Guards - is
chronicled in this photographic record that starts at their
formation in 1900 and takes the reader through to the recent war in
Afghanistan. It is the story of a remarkable family regiment that
continues to enhance the values, standards and reputation of the
British infantry in an ever-changing world. Their role in two world
wars, and more recently in the Balkans, the Gulf War and the War on
Terror, is covered in graphic detail with dramatic pictures. The
book shows the development of regimental soldiering from the
rigidity of the Victorian era, through the horrors of the trenches
to armoured warfare in Europe and light infantry soldiering
worldwide - all the time upholding the finest traditions of the
Foot Guards demonstrating excellence in operational and ceremonial
duties. It also features, in an extensive set of appendices, a
remarkable record of facts about the regiment - the people, places
and events in the history of the Irish Guards - which will serve as
an invaluable source of information for future generations. .
