Description
A unique, highly illustrated history of all the major events in a year in the life of this celebrated Territorial Regiment, setting today's Regiment in its historical perspective, from its formation in 1908. Covers in detail the six Companies which form today's London Regiment, London's only remaining Infantry battalion: London Scottish; The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment; The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers; London Irish; and two companies from The Royal Green Jackets. Julian Calder, a highly experienced photographer and author, has followed the London Regiment for a year, to provide a unique pictorial record, complemented by extended captions, and a text on each Company. Covers formal, ceremonial occasions (Remembrance Sunday, The Lord Mayor's Show, the Queen Mother's Birthday etc); manoeuvres home and abroad, including Romania; and informal gatherings at TA Training Centres and elsewhere. Gives a complete insight into life in the Territorial Army, showing the vital part it plays ready to support the Regular Army wherever and whenever required. Will appeal to current serving and retired TA members and all those interested in military matters in general.
