Background detail on the genesis of the regt., its uniforms & structure (with outline history of each battalion), followed by accounts of services that resulted in battle honours. "...accounts of active service tend to lean mainly towards the post-1947 campaigns. However, the author provides a good explanation of the origins of the constituent battalions. His accounts of the raising of the war-time battalions - a subject barely covered in other WWII sources - are particularly helpful..." Campaigns include Mahratta & Sikh Wars, Persia 1856, NWF, WW1, WW2, Jammu & Kashmir 1948, Indo-Pak Wars 1965 & 1971. Roll of post-Independence awards. VG in sl. chipped dw & scarce.
