About this product

Product Information

A history of the most famous regiment in the British army linked to a major prime time BBC1 series This is the first major history of The Household Cavalry, which consists of The Life Guards and The Blues and Royals - the oldest and most senior regiments in the British Army. The Household Cavalry is split between two different units equipped to perform two quite different roles;ceremonial duties on State and Royal occasions and as a fully functioning armoured regiment fighting in the front line. Illustrated in full colour throughout with exclusive material from the Household Cavalry's archives and museum, this book takes the reader on a journey from the restoration of Charles II, through Wellington and the Boer Wars right through to the Second World War. Further chapters deal with themes such as daily life in the barracks and the origin and symbolism of the uniforms. This is a unique book about a unique British institution.

    A beautiful hard cover book. I was surprised at the the thickness and can only imagine the amount of research that went into it.
