| Description: |
The author explains how the tradition of loyalty to the regiment has served the British Army so well over the past 350 years and, in his vivid description of some of the major campaigns in which it has fought, shows what it was like at various times to have been an officer or a soldier in the British Army. |
| Synopsis: |
In this second of a two-volume history of the life and times of the British infantryman, featuring the period since 1915, the author sets out to show how the regimental system has evolved and what it has meant to the infantryman himself. Thus the descriptions of military actions through the ages are not mere blow-by-blow accounts with lists of the regiments present, but they concentrate on what battle was actually like for the individual infantryman, and how battalion tactics changed. The book also describes pay and conditions, and how the infantryman was lodged, equipped and clothed; it examines his training, his rations, and his recreational pursuits; it identifies his characteristics, and the origins of customs and traditions that have made each regiment unique; and it allows the infantryman to speak for himself, with numerous quotations of experiences in both peace and war. |
