NEW BOOK BY THE RGBWLI REGIMENTAL MUSEUM SALISBURY

Too late for Christmas, but hot off the press is this second book by Ian Cull. The 2nd Battalion Royal Berkshire Regiment in World War One. It follows on from the well received volume on the 1st Battalion, published last year by this Museum. This time Tempus Publishing have published the book in association with the Museum.

The book covers the period from 1911 - 1919, starting in India, and follows the Battalions fortunes on the Western Front, ending with the Battalion's return to Reading. It contains over 120 pages of main body text, images and maps, plus 8 appendices and a comprehensive index.

The appendices include: Selected Biographies, The Battalion's earlier history, Visiting the battlefields today, Commanding Officers, Fatal casualties, Honours and Awards, The Roll of Honour and The Dehli Durbar Medal recipients.

To order your copy today go to the Regimental Books section in our on-line shop at www.thewardrobe.org.uk

All credit to this superb museum for doing - frankly - a bloody excellent job!

Thanks for that old chap....Many thanks for the review of the Photographic book on the Royal Berkshires, that was the first effort. A mirror copy covering the Wiltshire Regiment 1914-1959 is now with the publishers and should be out by February (Fingers crossed)
