As the definitive final volume of the history of The Royal
Leicestershire Regiment Marching with The Tigers covers events in
that Regiment and its successor, the 4th Battalion The Royal
Anglian Regiment, over the years 1955-75. During this period the
Battalions undertook overseas and operational tours in Cyprus,
Germany, Hong Kong, Borneo, Aden, Malta and Libya, Bahrain and
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
(Volunteer) Battalions The Royal Anglian Regiment, the Depot, the
Museum, the Regimental Chapel in the Cathedral and Affiliations.
The final chapter brings The Tigers' History right up to the
present day including Royal Tigers' Wood and the dedication of the
various national memorials commemorating the Regiment.
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
Officers and of those who commanded other units and formations,
Late Entry Commissions and National Service Officers. Marching with
The Tigers is not only comprehensive but lavish as well with the
