Condition: New. 2005 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1921). SB. xxi +324pp with eight colour and eight b/w plates and sketch maps of battles. This is the first of a 4-volume history of the regiment from its formation in 1689 to the end of the Great War. The RWF is one of only four out of fifty-one English and Welsh regiments of…infantry of the line that have remained unaffected by disbandments, amalgamations and redesignations since Cardwellâs reforms at the end of the nineteenth century. This volume covers the period 1689 - 1815, the recording of which has been considerably handicapped by the almost entire absence of letters, diaries or journals of officers who served with the regiment. Nevertheless the compilers, with the help of contributors named in the introduction, have, by accuracy of treatment and attention to detail, contrived to give a reliable record of the deeds of the regiment.The book is compiled in the form of a running narrative arranged on a year-by-year basis, and begins with a ten-page chronological summary in which all significant dates (including every move of the regiment) are listed for each year, beginning with 16 March 1689 when Henry, Lord Herbert of Cherbury was authorised to raise the Twenty-third [of Foot], and appointed colonel of the regiment. During the first 126 years of its existence the regiment saw a great deal of action and a vigorous account has been given of the campaigns in which it took part. Where it has been possible to illustrate by incident the story has been graphically told. Battle honours (twenty during the period) also tell the story: Namur, Marlboroughâs wars, Dettingen, Minden, Egypt, Corunna, the capture of the island of Martinique, the Peninsular War, and finally Waterloo. The regiment also fought in the American War of Independence. Officer casualties are named with numbers of rank and file casualties, and from time to time strength details are given. On 23rd April 1713 the regiment was, for the first time. officially styled "The Royal Regiment of Welch Fusiliers and a second battalion was formed in August 1756 which, less than two years later, became a regiment in its own right (68th Foot, later the DLI). Appendices give the succession of Colonels of the Regiment with record of service and extracts from the Regimental Mess records which include the amounts to be paid in by officers on promotion (£20 for a Lieut-Colonel getting command of the Regiment), and the amount to be paid by officers coming from other regiments. Finally there is a comprehensive index.

Condition: New. 2005 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1923). SB. xviii + 425pp with seven colour and 15 b/w plates and sketch maps of battles. This volume covers the hundred years between the victory of Waterloo and the outbreak of the Great War, 1816-1914. The book is set out in the same way as the first volume, beginning with a… chronological summary, which includes the dates of every move of the regiment, and with the narrative providing a running account on a year-by-year basis. On 3rd March 1858, as a consequence of the Indian Mutiny a second battalion was again formed but this one was a permanent feature, so when the Cardwell Reforms were implemented in 1881 the RWF was unaffected, being a two-battalion regiment. From this point on the narrative covers each battalion separately each year. This time the compilers are better served with personal memoirs and diaries, especially the Burmese War of 1885-87; the Boxer Rebellion, 1900; the Black Mountain Expedition, 1891 and the S African War.The regiment saw action in the Crimea (Alma, Inkerman and Sevastopol), the Indian Mutiny, Ashanti in 1874, Burma, S Africa and Pekin. Four VCs were won in the Crimea and two in the Indian Mutiny.This volume has a number of informative appendices: they include the succession of colonels with the service record of each officer; a very comprehensive one on regimental Dress and Equipment, one on firearms used by the regiment from time to time and on medals, on regimental music, on sport, on the Colours and finally on the history of the unique âFlashâ, the five-tailed flash of black silk ribbon attached to the back of the collar of the tunic, first worn by officers, WOs and SSgts in 1834, but approved for all ranks from June 1900. The regimental Goat, the famous mascot, gets its first mention in 1775. Again there is a comprehensive index.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This is the first of a 4-volume history of the regiment from its formation in 1689 to the end of the Great War. The RWF is one of only four out of fifty-one English and Welsh regiments of infantry of the line that have remained unaffecte…d by disbandments, amalgamations and redesignations since Cardwell's reforms at the end of the nineteenth century. This volume covers the period 1689 - 1815, the recording of which has been considerably handicapped by the almost entire absence of letters, diaries or journals of officers who served with the regiment. Nevertheless the compilers, with the help of contributors named in the introduction, have, by accuracy of treatment and attention to detail, contrived to give a reliable record of the deeds of the regiment.The book is compiled in the form of a running narrative arranged on a year-by-year basis, and begins with a ten-page chronological summary in which all significant dates (including every move of the regiment) are listed for each year, beginning with 16 March 1689 when Henry, Lord Herbert of Cherbury was authorised to raise the Twenty-third [of Foot], and appointed colonel of the regiment. During the first 126 years of its existence the regiment saw a great deal of action and a vigorous account has been given of the campaigns in which it took part. Where it has been possible to illustrate by incident the story has been graphically told. Battle honours (twenty during the period) also tell the story: Namur, Marlborough's wars, Dettingen, Minden, Egypt, Corunna, the capture of the island of Martinique, the Peninsular War, and finally Waterloo. The regiment also fought in the American War of Independence. Officer casualties are named with numbers of rank and file casualties, and from time to time strength details are given. On 23rd April 1713 the regiment was, for the first time. officially styled 'The Royal Regiment of Welch Fusiliers and a second battalion was formed in August 1756 which, less than two years later, became a regiment in its own right (68th Foot, later the DLI). Appendices give the succession of Colonels of the Regiment with record of service and extracts from the Regimental Mess records which include the amounts to be paid in by officers on promotion (£20 for a Lieut-Colonel getting command of the Regiment), and the amount to be paid by officers coming from other regiments. Finally there is a comprehensive index.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume covers the hundred years between the victory of Waterloo and the outbreak of the Great War, 1816-1914. The book is set out in the same way as the first volume, beginning with a chronological summary, which includes the dates…of every move of the regiment, and with the narrative providing a running account on a year-by-year basis. On 3rd March 1858, as a consequence of the Indian Mutiny a second battalion was again formed but this one was a permanent feature, so when the Cardwell Reforms were implemented in 1881 the RWF was unaffected, being a two-battalion regiment. From this point on the narrative covers each battalion separately each year. This time the compilers are better served with personal memoirs and diaries, especially the Burmese War of 1885-87; the Boxer Rebellion, 1900; the Black Mountain Expedition, 1891 and the S African War.The regiment saw action in the Crimea (Alma, Inkerman and Sevastopol), the Indian Mutiny, Ashanti in 1874, Burma, S Africa and Pekin. Four VCs were won in the Crimea and two in the Indian Mutiny.This volume has a number of informative appendices: they include the succession of colonels with the service record of each officer; a very comprehensive one on regimental Dress and Equipment, one on firearms used by the regiment from time to time and on medals, on regimental music, on sport, on the Colours and finally on the history of the unique 'Flash', the five-tailed flash of black silk ribbon attached to the back of the collar of the tunic, first worn by officers, WOs and SSgts in 1834, but approved for all ranks from June 1900. The regimental Goat, the famous mascot, gets its first mention in 1775. Again there is a comprehensive index.
