Beschreibung

Three volumes octavo bound in the original quarter ochre cloth with grey boards and maroon leather title labels. This set has the blessing of dust wrappers albeit torn and repaired. The cloth is a little rubbed and there is some spotting to the edges of the photographic plates and top edges are dusty.xviii, 378; (4);vii, 383;ix, 352pp. Complete with 17 illustrations and 18 maps. cf. Cyril Falls " "War Books" " This finely produced history of the most famous of British regiments is written with dignity and good taste. In matters of military detail it is sometimes at fault,but, generally speaking, it is sound. There were only four battalions of this regiment on active service, but they were are all in different brigades of the Guards Division after that had been formed. The historian has therefore certain difficulties to master, though they are not comparable to those which face the historian of a line regiment in the Great War. ".
