Signed by the author and Sir Brian Horrocks on title page. This regimental history traces the lineage of the unit from its formation as the 39th Regiment of Foot in 1702. Merged with the 54th in 1881 to become the Dorsetshire Regiment they have seen valiant service at the siege of Gibraltar, in the Peninsular, the Sudan and South Africa. In the Great War they served variously on the Western Front, at Gallipoli, Mesopotamia and Palestine. In 1954 they were amalgamated with the Devonshire Regiment.
