Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The unique history of 'The Micks' - the Irish Guards - is chronicled in this photographic record that starts at their formation in 1900 and takes the reader through to the recent war in Afghanistan. It is the story of a remarkable family regiment that continues to enhance the values, standards and reputation of the British infantry in an ever-changing world. Their role in two world wars, and more recently in the Balkans, the Gulf War and the War on Terror, is covered in graphic detail with dramatic pictures. The book shows the development of regimental soldiering from the rigidity of the Victorian era, through the horrors of the trenches to armoured warfare in Europe and light infantry soldiering worldwide - all the time upholding the finest traditions of the Foot Guards demonstrating excellence in operational and ceremonial duties. It also features, in an extensive set of appendices, a remarkable record of facts about the regiment - the people, places and events in the history of the Irish Guards - which will serve as an invaluable source of information for future generations. .

Red Cloth Gilt. Zustand: Very Good. Pp. 240. Singed & dated at top margin of title page: "P. Redmond (?) Barry." Neat annotations & amendments in re ink in a neat hand suggest that this copy was used to revise and update the standing orders of the regiment. The printed name of the Field Marshal who had revised and approved the amendments was Earl Roberts. The amended name of his successor in pen was French. So in a sense this book contains the standing orders of two field marshals. The original in printed form and the revised one in neat red ink overlaid on the printed version. So one can see the differences between the demands of the teo F.M's. Rare.…
