In this illustrated tribute to the British Army's long and distinguished history, P.D. Griffin looks at the insignia, battle honours, anniversaries, customs, mascots, dress distinctions, marches, nicknames, headquarters and recruiting areas of its regiments and corps. A wide selection of colour and black & white pictures illustrate key moments in each regiment's history and its current activities across the globe. Griffin ran away from home at the age of fifteen to join the British Army, serving in the Royal Engineers.
