170 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 0850521084 B&w photographs, maps. "The Battle of the Hook was probably the last full-scale infantry battle, fought on traditional lines, that the world will ever see. It was also a classic set-piece example of a battalion in defence and was, in terms of steel, the biggest battle of the Korean War, and the most concentrated confrontation of artillery support and engineering effort since the First World War. In it the Black Watch and t he Duke of Wellington's Regiment defeated and completely routed a fanatical Chinese army who attacked them over a period of some fifteen days with incredible ferocity. The Chinese losses were so great that they never attempted such assaults again . It was a turning point of the Korean War and a triumph of British arms...." Previous owners small name stamp on front endpapers, one page with tiny corner crease, light wrinkle at top of spine, tiny bump to bottom front corner. Dust jacket has m i nor wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds, minor browning on inside. VG/VG

Barker, A.J. Introduction by Lt.-General Sir Brian Horrocks. THE EAST YORKSHIRE REGIMENT (THE 15th REGIMENT OF FOOT). FAMOUS REGIMENTS SERIES.
Leo Cooper, London, 1971, first edition.
152 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 0850520576 B&w photographs, reproductions. "The East Yorkshire Regiment - the 15th - was one of the regiments formed by King James II to combat the seditious activities of his nephew, the Du ke of Monmouth. Within a few decades they had added glory to their name and new battle honours to their colours - the campaigns of Marlborough gave them Blenheim, Ramillies, Oudenarde and Malplaquet - while the siege and capture of Quebec in 1759 g ave the Regiment the distinction of wearing a rose on their badge on a background of black, in memory of the young General (Wolfe) who fell on the Heights of Abraham. The 15th spent the next few years in Martinique, Havannah, St. Lucia and Guadal ou pe, those desperate campaigns in which disease accounted for more men than enemy action. Then came the Afghan War of 1879-1880 folowed by the war in South Africa, in which the Regiment's Mounted Infantry Company won great distinction. In the Gr eat War the East Yorkshires saw some of the hardest and most bloody fighting on the Western Front, raising a total of 21 battalions and serving on all the main fronts. The Second War again saw the Regiment fighting in all the main theatres - Franc e, N orth Africa, Sicily, Normandy, Burma - earning praise wherever they went. In name the East Yorkshires are, alas, no longer with us, but it is good to know that within the structure of the modern Army the spirit of the 'Snappers' is still lurki ng." Includes the music for the Regimental March. Minor browning to pages, cigarette odor, browning to edges of textblock, two tiny corner bumps, slight bump at bottom of spine. Dust jacket has been price clipped, has moderate browning, - more on spin e and flap-folds, light rubbing, two very small tears archivally taped. Very Good/Very Good-
