About This Item
Oxford: printers to the University, 1882. 20 pages. A very good copy in the publisher's rifle green cloth. Bookplate of the Army Museums Ogilby Trust. Curious little book examining the evidence behind Major Wallace's assertion in his regimental history that 'the motto was given to the regiment by General Wolfe fir its distinguished bravery at the siege of Quebec in 1759.'(For other British army regimental histories please search my stock using the keyword regimental.)
