Rather than being a conventional regimental history, Fighting
Tigers instead picks out fourteen classic actions and campaigns
fought by men of the Leicestershire (later Royal Leicestershire)
Regiment. These are some of the actions in which the bravery and
determination of 'The Tigers' shone through most clearly. The book
also illustrates the bonds of kinship which within a family
regiment such as the Leicesters are extremely strong, with several
generations serving at different times, and surnames often
recurring. The book covers the Boer War, First World War, Second
World War, Korean War and the 'undeclared' war in Borneo in 1963.
The actions covered include Ladysmith and the Somme via the
evacuation at Dunkirk to the jungles of Burma, and thence to the
hills of Korea, along the way charting the characters and the
commanders of various battalions, and chronicling the Honours and
decorations which were gained.
