"The East Yorkshire Regiment - the 15th - was one of the regiments formed by King James II to combat the seditious activities of his nephew, the Du. ke of Monmouth. Within a few decades they had added glory to their name and new battle honours to their colours - the campaigns of Marlborough gave them Blenheim, Ramillies, Oudenarde and Malplaquet - while the siege and capture of Quebec in 1759. g ave the Regiment the distinction of wearing a rose on their badge on a background of black, in memory of the young General (Wolfe) who fell on the Heights of Abraham. The 15th spent the next few years in Martinique, Havannah, St. Lucia and Guada. l ou pe, those desperate campaigns in which disease accounted for more men than enemy action. Then came the Afghan War of 1879-1880 folowed by the war in South Africa, in which the Regiment's Mounted Infantry Company won great distinction. In the . Gr eat War the East Yorkshires saw some of the hardest and most bloody fighting on the Western Front, raising a total of 21 battalions and serving on all the main fronts. The Second War again saw the Regiment fighting in all the main theatres - Fr. anc e, N orth Africa, Sicily, Normandy, Burma - earning praise wherever they went. In name the East Yorkshires are, alas, no longer with us, but it is good to know that within the structure of the modern Army the spirit of the 'Snappers' is still l. urki ng." Includes the music for the Regimental March. Minor browning to pages, cigarette odor, browning to edges of textblock, two tiny corner bumps, slight bump at bottom of spine. Dust jacket has been price clipped, has moderate browning, - mo. re on spin e and flap-folds, light rubbing, two very small tears archivally taped. Very Good/Very Good-.
