"I am confident that you will find that Algy Brinton has captured the essence of the Regiment over a typically varied period. The enduring characteristic of Grenadiers achieving the highest standards in all that they do comes across most clearly of all." ?�� From the Foreword by Brigadier David Madden, Regimental Lieutenant Colonel Twice the Man: A photographic diary of a year in the life of the Grenadier Guards will be a unique family album, following the life and times of the Regiment over an action-packed 12-month period, from Spring training for the front line to public duties at the Nijmegen 65th Anniversary Celebrations, from a tough and exhausting tour of duty in Helmand, Afghanistan, to a new Spring, preparing for the Presentation of new Colours by Her Majesty The Queen, followed by The Queen's Birthday Parade. Photography by Algy Brinton (AB Photography) has produced a stunning array of formal and informal images demonstrating how one of the country's oldest regiments continues to reproduce its values, traditions and ethos in the 21st century in the face of challenging circumstances. Serving Guardsmen will recognize familiar faces and circumstances, while former members of the Grenadiers family can take pride in the fact that the spirit and standards of the Grenadier Guards remain at the highest level of excellence. A final section highlights the glories of the Grenadiers heritage. Specifications: softback/hardback, 250 x 250 mm, 160 pages, over 150 images, ISBN: 9781906507732, publication: June 2011, published price: �20.00.
Book Synopsis The Grenadier Guards in the Great War 1914-1918 Vol 1 by : Sir Frederick Ponsonby
Download or read book The Grenadier Guards in the Great War 1914-1918 Vol 1 written by Sir Frederick Ponsonby and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2013-02-18 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Grenadier Guards began the war with three battalions of which only one, the 2nd, was committed to the BEF; it was in the 4th Guards Brigade, 2nd Division. As soon as war was declared the 4th (Reserve) Battalion was formed and within five days 1,700 reservists had reported. In September 1914 the 7th Division was formed and the1st Battalion was allocated to 20th Brigade of the new division. On 14th July 1915 another Grenadier battalion was formed and numbered the 4th, the Reserve battalion then became the 5th. A month later the 4th battalion went to France to join the newly created Guards Division, and it was at this stage, also, that the 3rd Battalion, which hitherto had been retained in London by Kitchener for some undefined reason, was sent out to join the new division. Thus, by August 1915 there were four battalions of Grenadiers on the Western front where they remained for the rest of the war. By the end the Regiment had suffered 11,915 casualties of which 203 Officers and 4,508 Other Ranks were dead, seven VCs had been won and 34 Battle Honours awarded. This, as might be expected, is a very good history with detailed descriptions of the fighting and of the conditions the men endured. One sentence in particular paints a graphic picture of the state of the trenches in January 1915: The gruesome task of removing the dead was effected by floating the bodies down the communication trenches. The author tells the story in chronological order; vol I takes the record of the four battalions to the end of 1915, vol II to the German offensive of March 1918 and vol III to the armistice and beyond to the division's march into Germany. Each volume is paginated separately with its own contents list though the chapters run consecutively through all three. Each chapter covers a specific period and the chapter heading indicates which battalions are involved. There are plenty of maps to support the narrative, showing tactical details. Among the appendices are the Roll of Honour, a list of officers wounded with dates, lists of Awards, Mentions in Despatches and of Divisional Certificates of Gallantry and an account of the 7th (Guards) Entrenching Battalion. There is a table naming all other ranks who were commissioned during the war showing the regiment or corps to which they went. Finally there is an index to the names of officers.

Book Synopsis Once a Grenadier by : Oliver Lindsay
Download or read book Once a Grenadier written by Oliver Lindsay and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 1996-03-14 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'An eminent writer has said that regiments great in history have this in common with mortals- through old in glory and honour, they have yet the vigour of youth. To none may the remark be more truthful applied then the Grenadier Guards...' Thus wrote Chichester and Burges-Short in 1900 and, judging by the Regiment's history over the last fifty years, the words ring as true as ever. For this history of Grenadier Guards is indeed a microcosm of all the proud endeavours of the British Army. There are few places of significance where the Regiment has not served: after the round-up of Nazis in 1945 in Germany and Austria, Grenadiers saw action in Palestine and in the jungles of Malaya, and subsequently served during emergencies in Cyprus, the Cameroons, British Guiana, Belize, Northern Ireland, the Gulf and with the United Nations, to indicate but some of the over seas postings which included the Falklands and Hong Kong. Grenadier have also been responsible for the protection of British Sovereigns and the great ceremonial events in London, including the funerals of King George VI and Winston Churchill. Oliver Lindsay has produced a rigorous work of history-his fourth book- rich in quotation after interviewing Grenadiers, serving and retired, of all generations. Drawing on their accounts as well as his own experiences - for he was a regular soldier for thirty-five years- he has written a book of extraordinary interest. Unique among such historians, he tells of the experiences of wives in such places as war-torn Germany in 1945. Tripoli and Cyprus. The story of Grenadiers who served with the Guards parachute Company and in the SAS is included. Five years in the writing, this comprehensive record included coverage of training, tactics, the pronounced changes in the armed forces and the views and anecdotes of the Non Commissioned Officers and Guardsmen. Profusely illustrated and with 14 detailed maps, this is a dedicated history of the senior infantry Regiment in the British Army and what is probably the most famous Regiment in the world.
