The 91st and 93rd Highland Regiments,
By K. Murphy "Fortune favors the Bold" (The thriving metropolis of Masury, OH) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (Men-at-Arms) (Paperback)
This is an excellent source on two of the most illustrious units in the British army from the beginning of the 19th Century to the end of the 20th. Each of these units, raised from the Highlanders after the chaos and tragedy of the end of the Jacobite era, had an impressive history on its own, but it 1881 they were forged into one; their subsequent story is nothing shy of heroic; they served distinguishedly both in the Napoleonic Wars and the World Wars.
The color plates are up to the usual Osprey standards, and illustrate with great detail the uniforms of the Highlanders. As the text reveals, the regiments had to fight time and again for their right to wear their traditional costumes as a symbol of their Scottish identity. Overall, this is an excellently illustrated and engrossing account of the most famous post-Jacobite Scottish warriors in history.

A 1st rate book about a great Regiment,

This review is from: Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (Men-at-Arms) (Paperback)
This is one of the best books about one of Scotlands best known and toughest Regiments. It does a grand job in the telling of the story of two different regiments who thru a forced marriage become something greater than the sum total of the two products.
I can highly recommend this one the text and illustrations are just 1st rate. It is well worth the money. |
