Book excerpt: To date almost all accounts of army life in Northern Ireland have been written by members of elite or specialist units.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soldiers of the Queen "They shouldered arms, and looked straight before them, and wore a splendid uniform, red and blue." - The Brave Tin Soldier. The battle was nearly over. Gallant tin soldiers of the line lay where they had fallen; nearly the whole of a shilling box of light cavalry had paid the penalty of rashly exposing themselves in a compact body to the enemy's fire; while a rickety little field-gun, with bright red wheels, lay overturned on two infantry men, who, even in death, held their muskets firmly to their shoulders, like the grim old "die-hards" that they were.

Download or read book Soldiers of the Queen written by Stephen Manning and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It may come as some surprise that in such a popular area of military history there is no book that focuses on the experience of the Victorian soldier - from recruitment to embarkation, fighting and perhaps returning, perhaps dying - in his own words. Dr Manning's meticulous research in primary sources gives the lie to the received image of the disciplined, redcoated campaigner of Victorian art and literature: for one thing, by the time he arrived at his destination, the coat would have been in rags. The distances covered on march were unbelievable, through desert and disease-ravaged swamp. Lavishly illustrated thoughout, all the major Colonial campaigns and most of the minor ones are featured. To understand how what was in reality a tiny standing army controlled the largest empire the world has ever seen, this book is a must.

Download or read book Khaki Red written by Donald F. Featherstone and published by Arms & Armour. This book was released on 1995 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the long reign of Queen Victoria, the men of Britain - attired in red coats or dusty khaki - fought more than sixty military campaigns around the world. Hardly a year passed without the British Army being engaged in some far-flung corner of the globe, building and defending the Empire. In this book Donald Featherstone provides a vivid and accurate taste of Victorian soldiering in Africa and India, from the mountains of the North-West Frontier to the sands of Egypt. Rather than detail each facet of battle strategy, he seeks to impart to the reader the true flavour of the nineteenth century battlefield, the type of men who fought, how they were trained and armed, and the foes they encountered. The author of many books and articles on a wide variety of military history topics, Donald Featherstone brings to the subject a special vitality and empathy with the fighting man, evoking those colourful days of nineteenth-century imperial adventure, derring-do, comradeship and fighting spirit.
