Add to basketCondition: New. 2002 N & M reprint (original pub 1923). SB. xxii + 670pp with 21 b&w plates and 20 mapsPublished Price £28 Unusually, this history of the QVRs (as they became known), covers the period from the earliest days up to the Great War in an appendix (185 pages) at the end of the book. According to tradition they were the descendants of The Duke of Cumberlandâs Corps of Sharpshooters which was inaugurated in September 1803. In 1859 it became the 1st Middlesex Rifle Volunteers and in 1892 and after a couple of mergers with other Middlesex Rifle Corps it became in 1908, when the TF was created, the 9th (County of London) Battalion, The London Regiment (Queen Victoriaâs Rifles), allocated to the 3rd London Brigade, 1st London Division. Shortly after the outbreak of war in August 1914 a second line battalion was formed and in April 1915 a third line, thus we had 1/9th, 2/9th and 3/9th Battalions. The 1st London Division was broken up to provide reinforcements for the BEF and on 5th November 1914 the 1/4th landed at Havre and joined 13th Brigade, 5th Division. The battalion fought with 5th Division throughout 1915, at Hill 60, Second Ypres and St Julien. It was at Hill 60 that it gained the distinction of the first VC awarded to a Territorial - 2Lt G.H Woolley. There is today a memorial to the battalion on Hill 60. In Feb 1916 the 1st London Division was reformed in France as the 56th Division and the QVRs rejoined it in 169th Brigade. It fought with this division on the Somme, Arras, Third Ypres and Cambrai till transferring to the 58th Division in February 1918 where it joined with the 2/9th to become the 9th Battalion. The 2/9th came to France with 58th Division in Feb 1917 and fought at Bullecourt and Third Ypres before amalgamating with the 1/4th. The 9th Battalion remained with 58th Division and took part in the 1918 battles till the armistice. The 3/9th Battalion did not leave the UK but provided drafts for the other two battalions.This is a good history with plenty of detail and with many names, which is a very good thing for such histories. It covers each battalion in turn - 1/9th, 2/9th, the amalgamated 9th and finally 3/9th. There is the Roll of Honour and a list of Honours and Awards, including Mentions in Despatches.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 670 pp. This book would classify as very good if it were not the map at the end of the book has been torn loose. There is not damage to the actual map, just the fold out paper. Should repair very easily, but not invisibly. It is a Rare copy of the original printing. No sign of foxing or fading to the cover. The corners of the covers are very slightly bent back, but undamaged and the head and tail of the spine is slightly "pushed in". This book contains some 20 fold out maps which are useful for fixing the location od an action or battle. The Queen Victoria's Rifles was actually the 9th London Regiment, The Queen Victoria Rifles, but they preferred to go by the name of Q.V.R.'s. Some 10,000 men passed through their ranks of the 9th Rifles over their 5 years of war. There were two battalions that were finally merged into one for the final battles. They returned to England in November 1919, having served in the Army of the Rhine after the armistice. All my books are scanned or photographed so you can see what you are buying. My pricing is inclusive of UK packing and postage with 48 hour tracking with Royal Mail. Additional cost for overseas postage.
