The Northumberland Fusiliers (the Royal title was conferred in 1935) was one of the oldest regiments in the British Army, the 5th of Foot. I say was because it no longer exists as such, having become the 1st Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers in 1968. But all this is well after the period covered in this book. The regiment was raised in Holland in 1674 as an Irish regiment by Lord Clare and in 1688 it officially became part of the British Army; in 1747 it was numbered 5th Regiment of Foot. During the next 155 years it fought in more than fifty campaigns and battles across the world - in N America, Canada, S America, West Indies, the Peninsula, India (three VCs were won during the Mutiny) and finally S Africa where this history ends. One of the appendices contains extracts from the Army List between 1688 and 1900.

The Royal Northumberland Fusiliers (RNF) became Royal in 1935 on the occasion of the Silver Jubilee of George V. In 1937, in a reorganisation of the army the RNF was one of four regiments to be converted to a Machine-gun regiment, the other three were the Cheshire, Middlesex and Manchester Regiments. When war broke out the regiment consisted of the two Regular battalions and eight Territorial Army battalions in varying roles - the 4th to 9th and two tank battalions 43rd and 49th Royal Tank Regiment) formed from the 6th Battalion; two more battalions,10th and 70th, described as non-Field Force, were formed in October 1939 and September 1940. In contrast, in the Great War there were 51 battalions. The Roll of Honour lists 895 dead (16,000 in WWI), two VCs were awarded and 29 Battle Honours (5 and 67 in the previous war). Between them the battalions served in France (1939/40), N Africa, Singapore, Italy, Egypt, Syria, Palestine, NW Europe (1944/45), India and Greece. Although officially a machine-gun regiment during the period 1937 to 1945, some battalions of the RNF were given other roles, in some cases permanently, in others temporarily, e.g., the 5th became a Search Light regiment RA, the 8th Battalion a Reconnaissance battalion. All these changes are made clear as the narrative proceeds. Despite the title the book takes the history from the end of the Great War and describes the period between wars. In general it is set out in chronological order, although there is some departure from this in detail. This is due partly to campaigns and other events overlapping, and partly to the need to give some degree of continuity to the story of each battalion. In addition to the list of the dead of WWII and a summary of Honours and Awards in tabular form, there are also, in a separate appendix, details of the 1st Battalion casualties in Korea (69 dead, 319 wounded, missing and PoW), and the list of awards. Another appendix gives the names of all battalion commanding officers throughout the war. This is a very business like, well written and well laid out history, easy to follow.

The Scottish soldier has been at war for over 2000 years. Until now, no reference work has attempted to examine this vast heritage of warfare.A Military History of Scotland offers readers an unparalleled insight into the evolution of the Scottish military tradition. This wide-ranging and extensively illustrated volume traces the military history of Scotland from pre-history to the recent conflict in Afghanistan. Edited by three leading military historians, and featuring contributions from thirty scholars, it explores the role of warfare in the emergence of a Scottish kingdom, the forging of a Scottish-British military identity, and the participation of Scots in Britain's imperial and world wars. Eschewing a narrow definition of military history, it investigates the cultural and physical dimensions of Scotland's military past such as Scottish military dress and music, the role of the Scottish soldier in art and literature, Scotland's fortifications and battlefield archaeology, and Scotland's military memorials and museum collections.

Why is the North East the most distinctive region of England? Where do the stereotypes about North Easterners come from, and why are they so often misunderstood? In this wideranging new history of the people of North East England, Dan Jackson explores the deep roots of Northumbrian culture--hard work and heavy drinking, sociability and sentimentality, militarism and masculinity--in centuries of border warfare and dangerous and demanding work in industry, at sea and underground. He explains how the landscape and architecture of the North East explains so much about the people who have lived there, and how a 'Northumbrian Enlightenment' emerged from this most literate part of England, leading to a catalogue of inventions that changed the world, from the locomotive to the lightbulb. Jackson's Northumbrian journey reaches right to the present day, as this remarkable region finds itself caught between an indifferent south and a newly assertive Scotland. Covering everything from the Venerable Bede and the prince-bishops of Durham to Viz and Geordie Shore, this vital new history makes sense of a part of England facing an uncertain future, but whose people remain as distinctive as ever.
