Book excerpt: This book is a godsend to genealogists and medallists, containing as it does the service records of some 1,800 officers of the Green Howards, beginning with the man who was commissioned by the Prince of Orange to raise and equip a regiment of foot, known in later years as the 19th Foot - Francis Luttrell. The regiment was formed in November 1688 and, in accordance with the custom of the time, it was named after its founder with the title Colonel Francis Luttrell s Regiment of Foot. Thereafter the title changed with the Colonel s name till 1751 when the system of numbering the regiments was introduced and it became 19th Foot. After a few more changes of title the regiment officially became The Green Howards on 1st January 1921; it is still known by that name, one of only four English and Welsh infantry regiments to have been unaffected by all the amalgamations and re-amalgamations that have killed off other regiments of the line. The amount of information on each officer varies from a few lines to entries with quite an amount of detail about the officer concerned, especially where decorations have been awarded and citations are quoted. Letters from COs and others as well as extracts from local papers or other sources are sometimes quoted in cases where the officer has been killed in action or died on service. The index lists every officer in the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regimental histories abound, but few can be as stirring as this story of the fortunes of the famous Yorkshire-based Green Howards. Raised in 1688 in response to a call for loyal troops, the Green Howards have maintained their tradition of loyalty over the past 300 years winning many superb battle honours. Their history reflects that of the British Army as there is hardly a major campaign that this Regiment has not been involved in; the French Wars of 1697-1793, the American War of Independence, Crimean War, First and Second World Wars, service in Suez, Malaya, Northern Ireland, peacekeeping operations in Bosnia and the war in the Gulf. This fine book brings the story of one of Britain's finest regiments right up to date.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In answer to Lord Kitcheners appeal, in late August and September 1914 many men joined Alexandras Princess of Waless Own Yorkshire Regiment, better known as The Green Howards. Recruits came from around the Middlesbrough area and the ironstone mines on the North Yorkshire moors, while others came from the East Durham coalfield and the Durham City area. The 8th and 9th Battalions left the Regimental Depot in Richmond in late September and moved to Frensham on the Hampshire/Surrey border, where they trained hard until bad weather forced a move to barracks in Aldershot. They arrived on the Somme front at the end of June 1916, but were not involved in the fighting until 5 July, when the 9th Battalion captured Horseshoe trench and Lieutenant Donald Simpson Bell won the VC when he destroyed a German machine gun position. On 10 July both battalions took part in the capture of Contalmaison, a village that had been a first day objective. A second VC was awarded posthumously to Private William Short of the 8th Battalion during the fighting in Munster Alley in August 1916. The next year found the 23rd Division in the Ypres Salient, where they were in and out of the line until June 1917 when they took part in the Battle of Messines and the 8th Battalion had the honor of taking Hill 60. In November 1917 the division was sent to Italy to bolster the hard-pressed Italian Army, but the 9th Battalion returned to France in 1918 where they fought until the Armistice. The 8th Battalion stayed on in Italy and fought at the crossing of the Piave and Vittorio Veneto, which brought the war to an end in Italy.
