This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Histories of the Territorial Regiments of the British Army: Including the Names of the Officers and Soldiers Who Have Won the Victoria Cross, or the Distinguished Conduct Medal The Territorial Regiments of the British Army are those Infantry corps which, in 1881, were given a definite geo graphical connection, With an appropriate territorial title in place of their old numbers, and so became the representatives in the ranks of the Army, of particular cities, counties, or districts of the British Isles. In order to interest the population of these various areas in their representative corps, and to stimulate recruiting, a short history of the services of each regiment was prepared in pamphlet form, for distribution in its own recruiting area. These histories were compiled chiefly from information sup plied by the officers commanding the regimental depots but owing to the necessity of compressing the achievements of centuries into a few pages, the information given is practically limited to a brief outline of the more important campaigns, and all record of the many years spent in times of peace, in guarding the interests of the empire on its distant frontiers, is of necessity omitted.

Book excerpt: This is an upstairs-downstairs view of the Victorian-Edwardian army, one of the world's most peculiar fighting forces. The battles it fought are household words, but the idiosyncracies and eccentricities of its soldiers and the often appalling conditions under which they lived have gone largely unrecorded. Byron Farwell explores here the lives of officers and men, their foibles, gallantry, and diversions, their discipline and their rewards.

Download or read book A Military History of Britain written by Jeremy Black and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2006-10-30 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting his account at a time when Britain was poised to rule the world's oceans—and much of its land as well—prolific historian Jeremy Black details the nation's involvement in global affairs from the late-18th century to the present. A Military History of Britain is an account of military structures and cultures, and relevant socio-political contexts, as well as of conflicts. As in all of his writing, Black seeks to challenge conventional assumptions and offer illuminating new perspectives. Black begins by setting the background to British military history, in particular the anti-(large) army ideology, the maritime tradition, and the growing geo-political rivalry with France. After the defeat of the French in North America, Britain would become the world's leading maritime power. The 19th Century would see tension between Britain and the new United States, France, Germany, and an increasing emphasis on imperial conquests. Organized in three parts: Britain as Imperial Parent; Britain as Imperial Rival; and Britain as Imperial Partner. A primary focus of this account will be the 20th century, examining Britain and World War I (including Britain as a world power and issues of imperial overstretch) and World War II (and the subsequent wars of Imperial Retention in Malaya, Kenya, and Cyprus). As in all of his writing, Black seeks to challenge conventional assumptions, and offer illuminating new perspectives. Black details the involvement of Britain in global affairs up to the present. Recent issues of continuing importance include Britain as a nuclear power, the end of the East of Suez policy, NATO membership; out-of-area conflict (from the Falklands to Iraq), and the adjustment to new global roles. This wide-ranging and broadly-based account is designed for students and for the general reader.
