Omschrijving

During its seventy-one years of existence, the 17th/21st Lancers became one of the best known British cavalry regiments of all time. Beloved by the Press as the 'Death or Glory Boys', their renowned skull and crossbones motto was one of the most recognised cap badges of the British Army. This volume, written by a former member of the Regiment, tells their complete story for the first time, much of which is in the words of those who served. The Regiment's role during the Second World War - on the Home Front, in North Africa and Italy, Austria, Greece, and Palestine in the aftermath of the war, its four years of service in Northern Ireland at the height of the Troubles, and the Gulf War where one of its crews achieved the longest ever direct-fire tank kill, are all covered in considerable detail. Personal accounts add color to descriptions of routine life for a cavalry regiment in Egypt and India and an armoured regiment during the Cold War, serving in Germany, Hong Kong, Libya, Yemen and Belize. Eleven sketch maps and 128 photographs illustrate the text. Appendices include a definitive Roll of Honor, all Commanding Officers, Colonels of the Regiment, and RSMs.
