	1	Hughes, B.P., Major General. HONOUR TITLES OF THE ROYAL ARTILLERY. Major General B.P. Hughes, n.p., 1988, 2nd edition. 222 pp, 8vo (8 1/2" H), hard cover in dust jacket. B&w reproductions, maps. "Battle Honours form a natural part of (the British soldier's) quest for individuality. In the case of the Royal Artillery, it was in 1833 that King William IV ordered al l existing Battle Honours to be replaced by the motto 'Ubique', and that this new Honour should apply throughout the Regiment. Welcome as this Honour has always been, it did not entirely fulfil the wishes of units to retain their individuali t y . T h is eventually gave rise, in 1925, to official approval to the granting of Honour Titles to Batteries where certain rules and conditions applied. Gunners know well the history of the Battery in which they are serving, or have served, but li tt le ab ou t others. General Hughes has collected and rewritten in one book the stories of all those Batteries (58 at present) who proudly possess an Honour Title. In doing so he has produced a fascinating book which will be of great value an d i nte res t no t o nly to Gunners but also to all students of military history." From the Foreword by Field Marshal Sir Geoffrey Baker. One very small corner bump to front board. Dust jacket has very light edge wrinkling. VG+/VG+ Price: 38.95 USD
