Northern Ireland. Supported by seventeen maps and many black and
white photographs, its lively text describes the Regular
battalions' activities up to the disbandment of Tiger Company in
1975, the Territorial Army battalions' up to the disbandment of The
Royal Leicestershire Regiment (Territorial) in 1971, the early
years of the Leicestershire Companies in the 5th and 7th

The final chapter brings The Tigers' History right up to the

Its numerous appendices contain a wealth of information such as
lists of Honours and Gallantry Awards (including Long Service and
Efficiency Decorations and Medals), Colonels and Commanding
