The complex story of Englands County Regiments,
By
This review is from: The King's Regiment (Men-at-Arms) (Paperback)
This book is a good introduction to some of Britains old County Regiments which formed the backbone of the Infantry branch of the British Army. While it can be confusing to the reader with the various disbandments, the Cardwell reforms of the 1880's and the amalagmations of the various old regiments in the recent past. In the limited space provided, the author has given it the old college try. The really bright spot is the illustrations by Mr. Roffe.
