Produktinformationen zu „In Peace & War / The Queen's Own and Royal Irish (ePub)“
A British military veteran presents an insider's history of the UK's elite armored regiment across three centuries of service-"highly recommended" (Military Historical Society).
Formed in 1993, the Queen's Royal Hussars trace their origins back to 1685 when King James II formed a standing army. An amalgamation of two former regiments-the Queen's Own Hussars and the Queen's Royal Irish Hussars-the QRH carry on the distinguished history of their antecedents. A veteran of both the Queen's Own and the Queen's Royal Irish, Robin Rhoderick-Jones tells the history of these celebrated regiments who fought alongside each other at Dettingen, Balaklava, the Peninsula, in India and during the two World Wars.
Recently the QRH have seen action in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan where they provided the first cavalry-led ground-holding battlegroup. In Peace and War is a superbly researched record of the QRH through more than 300 years' distinguished service to the Crown. While the demands facing the QRH have changed over the years, their dedication, bravery, commitment and sense of humor remain constant.
