The magnificent achievements of British Regiments in the Great War 

 have induced a wide interest in their earlier history which no books at 

 present available can satisfy. The series of volumes now in prepara- 

 tion is designed to fill this need. A separate volume is devoted to each 

 regiment. A middle course is steered between the dry-as-dust technical 

 records of regimental happenings, interesting only to the military 

 expert, on the one hand, and frankly popular stories of gallant incidents 

 on the other hand. The names of the authors are sufhcient guarantee 

 that these books are not only serious and adequate histories, but that 

 they set forth the doings of the regiments in a vivid and human fashion. 

 The volumes are illustrated by coloured plates showing old uniforms, 

 reproductions of portraits of famous officers, colours, badges, and 

 other details associated with the life of the regiment. Chapters are 

 devoted to the Militia, Volunteer, and Territorial Battalions, and to 

 the service of the Regiment during the Great War. A Roll of Honour 

 and a list of all officers serving since the outbreak of the war are 

 included in an appendix.
