Useful & well illustrated short account of the regiment, inc. Roll of Commanding Officers & Roll of Hon. for WW2.

Mobilised again in 1914, it took part in the GSWA campaign. In WWII, the NFA saw much action, & suffered many casualties, in the Western Desert... All of this is covered in condensed but useful detail." - Perkins. Covs. little marked, VG & scarce. See illustration on our website.
