About this Item

(Subject: Regimental & Unit Histories - General) This is the story of the seven regiments which compose the Household Division, commonly referred to as the Guards. The image of the Guards has been coloured by their ceremonial duties as the regiments dedicated to the protection of the sovereign - whether on duty at Buckingham Palace or at great national occasions such as The Queen's Birthday Parade known as the Trooping of the Colour. Yet in the 21st century they have never been more active and engaged in their role as highly effective operational military units, whether in Bosnia, Iraq or, more recently, Afghanistan. This book offers a true, wide-ranging colour portrait of the Household Division. With a Preface by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. (Published: 2008) (Publisher: Third Millennium) (ISBN: 9781903942680) (Pagination: Large format, 208pp, c600 colour photos & illustrations) (Condition: New in d/w) UL-XXXXXX.
