Here is a book that charts the history of the British Army by using one of its most distinctive aspects - its regimental traditions. It describes the emergence of a royal army under Charles II and its expansion during the eighteenth century, the formation of its militia, the yeomanry and the Territorials, the distinction of the Household Cavalry and the Guards Division, and the changing function of the cavlary. It explains why the Royal Artillery carries no colours, why the Royal Berkshire Regiment wore a red patch behind their cap badge, wnd why the Devonshire and Dorset Regiment celebrates 'Sarah Sands Day'.
