Published Price £18 This book is laid out in five parts, the first takes the history of the Regiment from 1859 to the outbreak of the Great War and the remaining four consist of one each to the First Battalion, the Scond Battalion, the Amalgamated Battalion and finally the Depot and Reserve battalion during the war. There is a list of honours and awards but no roll of honour nor index.The foundation of the Rangers as a unit of the Volunteer Force was laid in 1859 and the first part of the book contains a brief record their history from then to the outbreak of war, including descriptions of dress and equipment and names of officers and the Rangersâ part in the S African War. On formation of the Territorial Force in 1908 the battalion became âThe Rangers,â the 12th (County of London Battalion), The London Regiment, in the 3rd Brigade of the 1st London Division. In December 1914 the battalion left the division and landed in Le Havre on Xmas Day and joined GHQ troops (L of C) till February 1915 when it was transferred to 84th Brigade, 28th Division; it took heavy casualties during Second Ypres. Then it moved down to Gommecourt and in that ill-fated attack suffered 560 casualties. There is an error on page 48 where the other division in that attack is referred to as the â48thâ; it should, of course, be â46thâ. A second-line battalion (2/12th) was formed in September 1914 (the original battalion became 1/12th) and went to France in February 1917 with 175th Brigade, 58th Division and the third part of the book describes its formation, training and actions at the front. A year later, in February 1918, the two battalions amalgamated to become 12th London (Rangers) in 58th Division and fought with that division for the rest of the war. The chapters in each part of the book were written by various contributors who were present during the events they describe, which include activities out of the line; the list of contents names the authors of each chapter. The maps are good and there is some good detail in the narrative, including identification of officers and other ranks in the action. Soldiers Died lists 1140 dead in addition to fifty officers; 28 battle honours were awarded.

Hardcover. Condition: Poor. Top corner of front flyleaf has former ownership signature "Alice H. Sherwood, Auburn, R.I., July 16, 1899." Spine cloth is gone, with spine lining stained; binding is very worn; corners bumped and worn; hinges are broken; free front endpaper and page groupings at front and back are loose, present; many margins (and some edges of the text) have closed tears and/or chips and/or soil; as a small part of the bottom corner of one leaf was apparently torn out, a photocopy of the missing text was laid onto the corner of that leaf (not a very pretty restoration job, but functional); pages and plates at back are dampstained; reading copy only. The double chromolithograph at front and title page are present, followed by pages [i]-x, 33-503, with in-text illustrations, the aforementioned double chromolithograph, and 96 p. of black and white plates, present and accounted for (as for the text and table of contents beginning with p. 33, which is how the book was published, I suspect that two of the 16-p. groupings of plates were originally slated to be bound in before the first page of text (and be counted as pages), but that plan changed and the pagination was never corrected; also, if you count the double chromo as 2 p. of plates, there are a total of 98 p. of plates, making the title-page claim, "Magnificently illustrated with over 100 full-page engravings" another inaccuracy). Large, heavy volume [otob: 41 (ck 43)].
