Bibliography of English Military Books says Robert Munro, a cousin o Robert Lord Foulis had in his youth served in the Scots guards of the King of France. In 1626 the ninth year of the Thirty Years' War he took service with the Scots Regiment under Christian IV of Denmark. He quitted it in 1633 to beat up recruits in England, but before his return his regiment had been cut to pieces at Nerlin. This book is the first regimental history, contains a store of first hand information on soldiering in the 1600's and is highly readable. The book was exceedingly rare as it was printed in only a few copies for friends of Lord Rhees.
