This book, the first in a series of British Army ‘Guides’, deals with the numbered regiments that existed between 1751, when the British infantry was ordered to discard their colonels’ names as titles and be known in future by number only (1st Regiment of Foot, 2nd Regiment of Foot, etc), and 1881 when numerical designations were replaced by the now familiar territorial names such as the Hampshire Regiment or Regiment. The book provides the formation date of each regiment, names of colonels prior to 1751, changes of title, battle honours awarded before 1881 and brief descriptions of uniform and badges worn. Helpful to the collector will be the badge authorisation dates included. With a view to further research, details of important published regimental histories have been noted. The numbering of infantry regiments reached 135 but, come the reforms of 1881, only 109 were still in existence. Much has already been written about these but recorded here, in many cases for the first time, are details of the 110th to 135th Regiments of Foot and all others that were raised and disbanded, albeit that service was short for many. For easy reference, the text has been set numerically by regiment. Illustrated in colour throughout with uniform plates, headdress, badges and portraits.

Individual Order No: 25038

WATERLOO ARCHIVE Volume II: German Sources HB, 288pp Prussia’s contribution to victory at Waterloo is well-known, but the valour of other German units in Wellington’s multi-national army - from Nassau, Brunswick, Hanover and other Germanic areas – is much less familiar. Individual Order No: 25039

WATERLOO ARCHIVE VolUME III: British Sources HB, 304pp In this third volume we find moving personal letters and vivid private diaries written by those who took part in the great battle that finally humbled Napoleon. The fascinating contents range from poignant final thoughts from those who died; to descriptions from those who visited the battlefield six weeks after the action. Individual Order No: 25037

WATERLOO ARCHIVE Volume IV: British Sources HB, 258pp This volume of the prized Waterloo Archive contains fascinating first hand material written in the aftermath of the great battle, including letters from frontline troops, medical reports, and the full description by Frederick Ponsonby of his miraculous survival when he lay helplessly wounded during and after the battle. Individual Order No: 25041

WATERLOO ARCHIVE Volume V: German Sources HB, 304pp Many historians hold that it was the Prussians, rather than Wellington’s multi-national force, that really won the battle of Waterloo. We read first-hand accounts by German participants and witnesses of the battle, including many descriptions published in English for the first time. Individual Order No: 25040

WATERLOO ARCHIVE Volume VI: British Sources HB 304pp In this sixth and final volume in the coming to the end, of this magnificent and groundbreaking Waterloo Archive series, Glover has again turned his attention to the British sources. Through these accounts the human aspect of war and military campaigning is brought to the fore: the humour and exhilaration, the fears and miseries, the starvation and exhaustion, the horror and the joy.
