Sutherland, Douglas. Introduction by Lt.-General Sir Brian Horrocks. THE ARGYLL AND SUTHERLAND HIGHLANDERS (THE 91st AND 93rd HIGHLANDERS). FAMOUS REGIMENTS SERIES.
Leo Cooper, London, 1969, first edition.
127 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. B&w photographs, reproductions. "Raised separately at the end of the eighteenth century as the 91st Argyllshire Highlanders and the 93rd Sutherland Highlanders, (the Regiments) saw many adventures before they were merged as one Regiment in 1881. Both saw service in many parts of the world, the 93rd in particular gaining immortal fame as 'The Thin Red Line' at Balaclava and in winning seven V.C.s before breakfast at the relief of Lucknow. There have been few spheres of military activity in British history over the past 250 years in which the Argylls have not been involved and in the great catastrophes of the 1914-18 and 1939-45 wars they have been in the forefront of the battle, adding lustre to an already famous name. Commander after commander has paid tribute to the fighting qualities of the Regiment who time and again have proved their worth. In the Second World War, the 2nd Battalion earned undying glory in defeat. They were the rearguard of the terrible march out of Malaya and the subsequent fall of Singapore. For a time they ceased to exist until the 15th Battalion assumed their name and honours. Since the war few Regiments have seen more service than the Argylls. They have been present at every trouble spot from Palestine, through Korea to the famous action in the crater at Aden which focused worldwide attention on them. Now, with the threat of disbandment hanging over them, they soldier on, proud and defiant to the last." Includes music for 'The Thin Red Line', 'Highland Laddie', and 'The Campbells are Coming'. Faint cigarette odor, small bump at top/bottom of spine. Dust jacket has light edge wear/wrinkling and tiny chips/tears at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds, moderate browning on spine and flap-folds, creses on inside edges of flaps. Very Good-/Good-

Sutherland, Douglas. TRIED AND VALIANT: THE HISTORY OF THE BORDER REGIMENT. (THE 34th AND 55th REGIMENT OF FOOT), 1702-1959.
Leo Cooper, London, (1972), First edition.
239 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. Map endpapers, color frontispiece, b&w photographs, reproductions. "The 34th of Foot, raised in 1702, and the 55th, raised in 1755, came together in 1881 to form the Border Regiment. The separate battalions had already seen service in nearly every corner of the globe in which it was the privilege of the British infantryman to freeze, swelter, sicken and die - the heroic deeds of the 34th at Arroyo-dos-Molinos and the honours won by the 55 t h in China being commemorated in the centre-piece of their joint capbadge, surrounded by the Fontenoy laurel wreath of the 34th. As Douglas Sutherland most ably shows the Regiment more than lived up to its glorious past in the two World Wars and m an y a Border soldier found his last resting place in the mud of Gallipoli or Flanders, and later in the heat of the Desert, in Sicily, in Burma and at Arnhem. In 1959 the Border Regiment was amalgamated with the King's Own Royal Regiment and, a s t he author says, 'for many old soldiers something very dear to them was passing out of their lives for ever'. This book is a tribute to those old soldiers and, hopefully, an inspiration to those who still cherish the 'Border' spirit." A few sma ll a rea s of light discoloration on boards, very small bump on bottom edge of front board, two small faint stains on fore-edge of textblock. Dust jacket has light edge wear, very light browning to edges and spine, crease and small chip along botto m edg e of front panel. VG-/G
