Frontispiece and twenty-one other plates, four folding maps and plans, three of them coloured. One plate loose, some light foxing, but overall a very good copy in the original green gilt cloth, slightly rubbed, cornered at all four corners of both boards in reddish leather, light stripping. xiv, 184pp. Aldershot, Gale & Polden Ltd., 1912.
Perkins pp.498. “A good all-round narrative history for the period 1815-1899, with appendices covering the period 1900-1910.” It will be noted that the binding of this copy is a variant from Perkins’ “Green boards, red leather spine and quarters”. Gift inscription of Maj.-Gen. Neville Godfray Hind to the front free endpaper. Hind served with the Regiment in the Great War in France, Egypt, Baluchistan and Waziristan 1919-1920.
