This book shows the illustrious history of the York and Lancaster
Regiment, or the 'young and lovelies' (one of their numerous
nicknames), and illustrates the regiment's service around the
globe. It shows the regiment its earliest days in the 65th and 86th
Regiments of Foot when they saw action in Guadeloupe, Martinique
and Havana in the Seven Years War, as early as 1752 and the 65th
and in East India as the 85th to amalgamation due to Cardwell's
military reforms in 1881, to disbandment in 1968. With over 200
photographs from the regimental archives in the York and Lancaster
Museum in Rotherham, the book illustrates the regiment's service
around the world in war and peace, showing the gallant action of
both regular, volunteer and territorial forces. The author has
constructed a book that will provide old and new soldiers with a
nostalgic look at the recent past, as well as tracing the
regiment's more distant history. This endearing collection provides
an unparalleled insight into the York and Lancaster Regiment and
gives a glimpse at many of the men who served with the regiment
both at work and leisure. Most of these photographs are in print
for the first time and will provide nostalgic pleasure for many.
