Cannon's Histories of the British regiments. The prime motive of the King in ordering the preparation of those familiar works of reference is thus explained: The character and credit of the British Army must chiefly depend upon the zeal and ardour by which all who enter into its service are animated. And consequently It is of the highest importance that any measure calculated to excite the spirit of emulation. By which alone great and gallant deeds are achieved. Should be adopted.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed history of the Queen's Own Rifles of Canada, one of Canada's oldest and most decorated active militia regiments. It details the regiment's origins in the colonial militias of Upper Canada, its service in the War of 1812, the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837, the Fenian Raids, the North West Rebellion, and both World Wars. This book also examines the regiment's customs, traditions, uniforms, and the historical and social context in which it developed. It argues that the history of this regiment, which has served as a beacon for Canadian military tradition, not only illuminates the history of Canadian military thought and practice, but is also a reflection of wider Canadian social and political developments. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
