Zustand: New. 2002 N & M reprint (original pub 1925).SB xiii + 349pp with 15 mapsPublished Price £22 In 1914 the Scots Guards (Third Regiment of Foot Guards) consisted of two battalions, both in England and two week after the outbreak of war the 3rd(Reserve) Battalion was formed; this battalion did not go abroad but during the course of the war it provided drafts of 11,201 all ranks for the 1st and 2nd Battalions. The 1st Battalion went to France with the 1st (Gds) Brigade, 1st Division on 14 August and served on the Western Front throughout the war; the 2nd Battalion joined the 20th Brigade of the 7th Division when it formed in September 1914, and landed in Belgium on 7 October 1914 and also served on the Western front for the whole of the war. Losses numbered 111 Officers and 2730 Other Ranks; 30 battle honours and 5 VCs were awarded. In August 1915 the Guards Division was formed in France and both battalions were transferred to it, the 1st to the 2nd Guards Brigade, the 2nd to 3rd Guards Brigade. The Regiment was somewhat unfortunate in its historians, the first - William Ewart - was accidentally killed in Mexico on New Year's Eve 1922/23 after writing up the first two months of the war only, his successor - L.F.Petrie died in May 1925 after getting most of the war diaries put together, and finally ithe history was finished by C.F Lowther who had commanded the 1st Bn at the beginning of the war and then the 1st (Gds) Bde.This book is set out in chronological order, and though the battalions were not in the same division during the first twelve months of the war their actions are not recorded under separate headings. Thus both battalions were in action during First Ypres and they both appear in the chapter covering that battle. Apart from war diaries, there are extracts from letters and other contributions from those who were there making up the narrative and the result is a plain, straightforward account. From time to time the list of officers present in both battalions is given as are the names of those who became casualties during any specific action. There is, however, no Roll of Honour nor List of Honours and Awards, just summaries of casualties and honours and awards in a final chapter; VCs are named other awards are summarised, thus :"DSO - Twenty-two officers while serving with the Regiment, four officers whilst attached to other units.".

Dust jacket shows light shelf wear only, no tears. The second son of the 3rd Earl of Lonsdale, he succeeded his brother, the 4th Earl, in 1882. Lord Lonsdale was an avid sportsman and bon vivant and was known by some as "England's greatest sporting gentleman". He was a founding member of the National Sporting Club and he donated the original Lonsdale Belts for boxing. His name was later given to a clothing brand of boxing garments, worn by Muhammad Ali. After a scandal, in 1888, Lonsdale set out to explore the Arctic regions of Canada as far north as Melville Island, and nearly dying before reaching Kodiak, Alaska in 1889 and returning to England. Lord Lonsdale was the inspiration for the Lonsdale cigar size, and was part of a famous wager with John Pierpoint Morgan over whether a man could circumnavigate the globe and remain unidentified. He enjoyed foxhunting, serving as Master of The Quorn from 1893 to 1898 and of the Cottesmore Hunt for long periods. He was also a keen football fan, and was chairman of Arsenal Football Club for a brief period in 1936 (having previously been a club director). He later became the club's Honorary President. He was known as the Yellow Earl for his penchant for the colour. He was a founder and first president of the Automobile Association (AA) which adopted his livery. When the Earl set out on his expedition the New York Daily Tribune said of him "When Lonsdale was last seen he was departing northward from Winnipeg, clad in a tweed suit as highly checkered as his own career - loud enough, in fact to be heard a mile away without the aid od a microphone" This book published the diaries, journals and correspondence of that adverturous year and catalogues the collection of native artifacts that he bought home with him. Many b&w photos of the collection, including hunting equipment, fishing tackly, clothing and bodily decoration, vessels and containers, transportation, artifacts of ritual, ceremony and play, tobacco, curios.
