South Wales Borderers 24th Foot 1689-1937
Author: C. T. Atkinson
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781783311118
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 740
Book Description
The South Wales Borderers and its predecessor units were one of the most distinguished, as well as one of the most venerable, line regiments in the British Army. Formed in 1689, the year of the 'Glorious Revolution' the regiment played a major part in Britain's 18th century wars with France, and in colonial conflicts of the 19th century. It's finest hour came at the legendary defence of Rorke's Drift in the 1879 Zulu War, when a record 11 VCs were won in a single day - seven of them to the regiment's members - during the successful and heroic siege of the Natal mission station against Zulu warrior. This magnificent regimental history concludes with the story of the Borderers in the Great War and its aftermath.

Historical Records of the 24th Regiment
Author: Glennie Paton
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781781519523
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
Best known for its heroic role in the defence of Rorke's Drift, during the Zulu War of 1879, when it won seven of the 14 Victora Crosses awarded, the 24th Regiment, South Wales Borderers, was an exceptional unit, and this is an exceptionally good history. Founded in 1689, the year after the Glorious Revolution, the Duke of Marlborough was appointed the Regiment's Hon. Colonel, and it took part in his four great victories of Blenheim, Ramillies, Oudenarde and Malplaquet. It helped defend the island of Minorca in the War of the Austrian Succession, and saw colonial service in Canada, Egypt, the Punjab and the Indian Mutiny before its immortal actions in the Zulu War. The history contains several exciting descriptions of the defence of Rorke's Drift, including the official report by the Officer Commanding, Lt. Chard, written within hours of the battle. There are biographies and medal citations of the VCs won that day, and a portrait photograph of Lt Gonville Bromhead VC, Chard's second-in-command. In addition the history contains colour plates of regimental uniforms at different stages of its life, portrait photographs and officers and commanders' rolls.
