The Royal Engineers in Korea - Bog af Matt Merritt - Hardback

\Although never formally diagnosed, Frank Merritt was on the autistic spectrum. He was also dyslexic and it was rare for him to write anything down. When he was called up for National Service in the 1950s, during the Korean War, he could have deferred, as he was a farmer's son and farming a reserved occupation. Feeling it was his duty to serve, he joined the Royal Engineers. When Frank arrived on the frontline in Korea to join 55 Independent Field Squadron, 28th Field Engineer Regiment, they didn't..

M.I.9 - Bog af An Official History - Hardback

It was every British servicemanâEUR(TM)s duty, be he soldier, sailor or airman, to attempt to evade capture if stranded behind enemy lines or escape if captured.

The Worst Medieval Monarchs - Bog af Phil Bradford - Hardback

The Worst Medieval Monarchs - Bog af Phil Bradford - Hardback

Stephen. John. Edward II. Richard II. Richard III. These five are widely viewed as the worst of England's medieval kings. Certainly, their reigns were not success stories. Two of these kings lost their thrones, one only avoided doing so by dying, another was killed in battle, and the remaining one had to leave his crown to his opponent. All have been seen as incompetent, their reigns blighted by civil war and conflict. They tore the realm apart, failing in the basic duty of a king to ensure peace..

Trooping the Colour - Bog af Ben Skipper - Hardback

Trooping the Colour - Bog af Ben Skipper - Hardback

Today Trooping the Colour gathers crowds of tourists; along with the pomp and ceremony it is an event filled with tradition that spans many hundreds of years. In that history lies duty, a call to arms, and a rallying in battle. The regimental colours were presented to the soldiers daily so that they would recognize it in the melee of battle and rally toward it. In 1748 the Grenadier Guards began this tradition, also called the Kings Birthday Parade, which is now held annually at Horse Guards Parade..

The British Hawkins Class Cruisers - Bog af Aidan Dodson - Hardback

The British Hawkins Class Cruisers - Bog af Aidan Dodson - Hardback

During the First World War, rumours of heavily-armed German raiders led to the building of the first 'modern' heavy cruisers by the Royal Navy. Named for famous Elizabethan seamen, they were very different from the lumbering armoured cruisers of the previous generation, and were enlarged developments of the highly successful light cruisers that had been built since the mid-1910s. As such, they provided the prototypes for the 'Washington Treaty' cruisers that dominated naval construction during the..

NATO and Warsaw Pact Tanks of the Cold War - Bog af Michael Green - Hardback

NATO and Warsaw Pact Tanks of the Cold War - Bog af Michael Green - Hardback

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was formed in 1949 to counter the Soviet Union. In response the Soviets assembled and dominated the Warsaw Pact in 1954. The mainstay of both alliances' ground forces were their main battle tanks (MBTs). Initially both sides relied on Second World War tanks; in NATO's case the Sherman medium tank and its successor the M26 Pershing together with the British Centurion and the heavy Conqueror. The Soviets originally fielded the T-34-85 medium tank and the..

Light Infantry of the Greek and Roman World - Bog af Jean Charl Du Plessis - Hardback

Light Infantry of the Greek and Roman World - Bog af Jean Charl Du Plessis - Hardback

Ancient accounts of battle often neglected the role of lightly-armed infantry, presenting the deeds of the heavy infantry, such as Greek hoplites or Roman legionaries, or dashing cavalry charges as the decisive battle winners. This bias was partly due to the light infantry typically being drawn from the poorer sections of society, who could not afford to equip themselves with armour and because they generally fought from a distance, killing from afar with missile weapons, not bravely face-to-face..

British Naval Gun Mountings - Bog af Ian Buxton - Hardback

British Naval Gun Mountings - Bog af Ian Buxton - Hardback

Heavy gun mountings dominated the design of larger warships, on account of their size, weight, protection and cost. In the 1890s, British gun mountings developed rapidly with new gun technologies (wire winding, cordite) and the rise of the two major ordnance companies, Armstrongs and Vickers, producing large numbers of weapons for the Royal Navy and for worldwide export. But by 1960, aircraft and guided missiles had made the big gun redundant, so the period from 1890s to 1950s covering the two world..
