Hardcover. Condition: Good. Illustrated by Clay, Lieut P.P.F.; Wyld, Capt R.C.; Raymer, Sgt B.V. (illustrator). First Edition. "This story is written with two objects in mind; first, that of providing the men who have served in the regiment with a memento of their army days; second, that of recording accurately a history which will be of use in the future and which will place the artillery branch of the service in its recognized place." - Introduction. "Approximately seven hundred men from all walks of life, united in a common cause, lived in perfect harmony for about five years. When the battle came and men died we found, with somewhat of a shock, that it is possible to love another man. From the early days the regiment was a happy one. It went through difficult times but on the 6th day of June 1944, when the final test came, all those who remember are proud of the gallant, skillful, and efficient work of the unit. Until the 8th of May 1945, with the exception of a few days, the regiment was continuously in action. Without fear of contradiction I say that the men of this unit had no superiors. No history of this regiment could be complete without reference to "C" Troop of the 69th Battery, 4th LAA Regiment RCA. From the early days of the invasion until the final knockout blow they lived and deployed with us." - Foreword. [12]-185 pages. Nominal Rolls. Numerous black and white photos, maps and cartoons. Contents toned with age. Minimal markings. Rubber stamp to each free endpaper. Average wear to original black cloth with corners rubbed open. Binding intact. No dust jacket, presumably as issued. A sound and rare example of the proud and precious history. 10.4" x 7.1". Dornbusch 477, Cooke (3rd Edn) p. 219. ; Cartoons / Maps; Sm 4to.
