Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: King James II came to the throne in 1685 and was immediately faced with threats of rebellion by the Dukes of Monmouth and Argyll which necessitated an increase in the regular to meet them. Accordingly additional cavalry and infantry regiments were raised including the Suffolk, which formed at Norwich as the Duke of Norfolk s Regiment of Foot. The title then changed with the Colonel s name till 1751 when Foot numbers were introduce and the Regiment became 12th Foot, adding East Suffolk in 1782 and finally, in 1881, it became The Suffolk Regiment. This is a very detailed history by an experienced author who observes that he was much assisted by the wealth of personal diaries, journals and varied reminiscences of the old 12th, probably more than possessed by any other regiment, all of which were put at his disposal. and have been put to good use. There are one or two informative appendices, such as the succession of Colonels with biographies, succession of COs and Adjutants and a chapter on uniform, equipment and the Colours. Following the accession of William and Mary to the throne (1688) the Regiment was sent to Ireland to fight the rebels supporting ex-King James and took part in the Battle of the Boyne. In 1743 the 12th Foot gained its first battle honour, Dettingen, the last occasion on which the British Sovereign led his troops in battle. Six years later they were one of the six infantry regiments at Minden, one of the great victories over the French, which is still celebrated today by the six regiments (or their descendants) with a ceremonial parade in which the drums parade garlanded with roses and personnel wear a rose in their headgear. The regimental cap badge of a castle superscribed Gibraltar reflects their defence of the Rock during the four-year siege 1779-1783. During the almost 230 years covered by this history the Suffolks served in India (Seringapatam is a principal battle honour), in Africa during the Kaffir and Boer Wars, in New Zealand in the Maori War, on the NW Frontier in the 2nd Afghan War, in the West Indies and Mauritius. Colour plates depict uniforms, battle scenes and the Colours in 1686 and 1849 (1st 8n)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With over 60,000 combatants, the Battle of the Boyne, which took place on 1 July 1690 was the largest battle ever fought on Irish soil, and has long been regarded as the pivotal event of the Williamite War. But despite the Boyne's celebrated place in Irish protestant folklore, the critical engagement of the campaign was to take place the following year outside the village of Aughrim, in County Galway. Here the outnumbered and outgunned Jacobites, their backs to the wall, faced the Williamite army in a battle that was to decide the course of Irish, and indeed European history. In the first major history of the battle in forty years, Michael McNally brings vividly to life the personalities and events of the bloodiest day in Irish history. Placing the battle firmly in the context of the wider campaign, and of early modern European power politics, he uses evocative eyewitness testimony to reconstruct the events of that fateful encounter, and reveal just how close to defeat the Williamites came.

Download or read book The British Field Marshals, 1736-1997 written by T. A. Heathcote and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2012-10-24 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether any advantage or benefit will be drawn from the suspension or effective abolition of the rank of Field Marshal is debatable. What is certain, however, is that Dr. Tony Heathcotes idea of compiling a definitive biographical dictionary of holders of this illustrious rank since its introduction by George II in 1736, is opportune and inspired.Those readers who anticipate a dry recitation of bare facts and statistics are in for a disappointment. A reference work this may be but the author, by dint of his depth of knowledge, has created a shrewd and highly readable commentary as well.As General Sir Charles Guthrie (the first soldier to be denied promotion to Field Marshal on appointment to Chief of Defense Staff) observes in his Foreword, this book embraces the history of the British Army over the last 250-300 years. It covers not only the careers of key individuals but provides an understanding of their contribution to the successes and failures of our military past. The diversity of personalities, who have only the honor of wearing the coveted crossed batons in common, is fascinating. Alongside the household names of the great strategists and distinguished leaders lie little known and forgotten figures, who gained their exalted rank by either luck, accident of birth or diplomatic gesture.The British Field Marshals merits a place on the bookshelf of any military historian but is likely to be found on his or her bedside table. Whether or not the rank is ever resurrected, as it has been in the past and as many will hope it will be again, this delightful and useful book will remain the authoritative guide to all those who have held the highest military rank in the British Army.
