Ian Allan, (Shepperton, 1986), Ist edition. 398 pp, 4to (11 3/8" H), hard cover in dust jacket. Map endpapers, b&w photos, reproductions, maps. "...brings together in one comprehensive volume the story of the achievements of the British and Commonwealth armies over 300 years of service. It tells of and lists the battles fought, whether they were honoured or - equally important - whether they were not and are now largely forgotten, and which regiments were involved...sets out to ensure that...the Honours granted in the past, from 'Tangier' in 1662 to 'Falkland Islands' in 1982, and the regiments that won them are not forgotten. In providing such information it will prove invaluable to military historians or anybody who has ever wondered about the lineage and honours of British and Commonwealth units."
