Red Cloth Hardback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 1908. First edition. xv, 241pp., 3 folding maps and 4 in-text maps. This is a short history of the Black Watch, one of the finest fighting forces in the world. It has been engaged in virtually every worldwide conflict for the last three centuries. Named after the dark tartan of the soldiers' kilts, its unique formation - raised from loyal Scottish clans in the wake of the 1715 Jacobite rebellion - make it the oldest Highland regiment. As part of the British army, their first battle abroad was in Flanders in 1745 but the regiment soon moved to North America to fight the French, and then shared the capture of Montreal, the Windward Islands and Martinique. The American War of Independence saw the regiment once again in America, fighting horrific battles and eventually storming Fort Washington in 1776. Since then the regiment has held its own from Egypt to the Napoleonic Wars, from the Crimea to the Indian mutiny, from both World Wars to Iraq. It was published with the approval of the officers commanding the 1st and 2nd Battalions, and the facts have been compiled, for the most part, from the Regimental Records of the 1st and 2nd Battalions, an of the Perthshire Militia, from the official histories of the 42nd and 73rd, and from Stewart's 'Sketches of the Highlanders.' The author is not stated but it is known to be General Sir Arthur Grenfell Wauchope GCB GCMG CIE DSO (1874-1947), a British soldier and colonial administrator, His father was Major General A.G. Wauchope who, commanded the Highland Brigade on his death in battle in 1899. The book is bound in the original red cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine and front board.

A few of the pages have short notes written in pencil on the margin. The half-title page has been flat signed 'A.G. Wauchope' by the author.
