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.

The War Diaries for the Great War, held under WO95, represent one of the most popular record collections held at the National Archives, Kew, London. For researchers and family historians, the War Diaries contain a wealth of information of far greater interest than the army could ever have predicted. They provide unrivalled insight into daily events on the front line and are packed with fascinating detail. They contain no modern editing, opinions or poorly judged comments, just the war day by day, written by the men who fought this 'War to end all Wars. They are without question, the most important source of information available on the war on the Western Front. Full colour facsimile of each page with specially created chronological index. What is a War Diary? The headquarters of each unit and formation of the British Army in the field was ordered to maintain a record of its location, movements and activities. For the most part, these details were recorded on a standard army form headed 'War diary or intelligence summary'. What details are given? Details given vary greatly, depending on the nature of the unit, what it was doing and, to some extent, the style of the man writing it. The entries vary from very simple and repetitive statements like 'Training' up to many pages of description when a unit was in battle. Production of the diary was the responsibility of the Adjutant of the headquarters concerned. Is there any other information or documents with the diaries? Some diaries have other documentation attached, such as maps, operational orders and after-action reports.

An important history of a famous British cavalry regiment This book is the first volume of an essential four volume work covering the history of the 7th (Queen's Own) Hussars to the beginning of the Great War of 1914-18. C. R. B. Bennett's work is a study in considerable depth-concentrating not merely on the close activities of the regiment-but also on the tactical issues in which it took immediate part and the broader span of the engagements and campaigns in which it was involved. As such it is virtually a history of the British cavalry arm over more than two centuries. It is full of the detail much appreciated by students of military history including many first hand accounts. This volume concerns the regiment's time as dragoons-mostly during the eighteenth century-and includes famous actions such as Dettingen, Fontenoy, Warburg, Vellinghausen, Wilhelmsthal and others. The second volume covers the Napoleonic period including the regiment's experiences at Waterloo. The third volume covers the remainder of the nineteenth century including service in India and Africa, whilst the fourth volume gives much valuable information about equipment, uniforms and the services of individual members of the 7th.
