About This Item
(London: Hamish Hamilton, 1967). A title in the "Famous Regiments" series, edited by Lt-General Sir Brian Horrocks. 8vo; original brown boards, lettered in gilt on spine; price-clipped laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 149; illustrations in text. Ex-library copy; spine a little cocked; front endpapers adhering; trace of ripple to early prelims.; stamps to copyright page; some tape marks to upper board and rear free endpaper; occasional fox spot. Good condition. "Wherever the fighting was the hottest, detachments of the 60th were to be found - at Bushy Run, Savannah, Albuhera, Vitoria, in the Sikh Wars, at the Siege of Delhi, and in China. They have fought against Frenchmen, Indians, Afghans, Zulus, Boers, Italians and, of course, Germans, and have taken part in almost every military campaign of the last 200 years. The record of The King's Royal Rifle Corps is surely second to none, and few regiments can have lived up to their mottos as well as the 60th have to Celer et Audax." .
