'One and All' epitomises the crucial role of the Infantry in the British Army through nearly three centuries. It conveys the sweep of history as the story moves at a rapid pace through such dramas as the Siege of Lucknow. White also gives the wider political or military backgrounds that set his narrative in context.

Excerpt from Historical Records of the 32nd (Cornwall) Light Infantry, Now the 1st Battalion, Duke of Cornwall's L.

And then, under its present title, up to the present time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A history of the 32nd (Cornwall) Light Infantry, proudly narrating its service throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. Originally formed as Marines under the ill-fated Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovel - later lost with his flgship in a wreck off the Cornish coast - the regiment s first major action was the sudden capture and subsequent defence of the Rock of Gibraltar in 1703 during the War of the Spanish Succession. It later mounted raids on the west coast of France, was disbanded at the war s end with the Peace of Utrecht in 1713, only to be promptly reformed in 1715 during the Jacobite emergency. In 1743, during the War of the Austrian Succession, the Regiment took part in the victorious battle of Dettingen against France - the last battle in which a British monarch ( George II) personally led his army. In 1745, during the same war, the Regiment fought at the battle of Fontenoy in which France s Marshal Saxe defeated the allied forces of Britain, Hanover, Austria and Holland under the young Duke of Cumberland. The Regiment fought in Europe in the Seven Years War with France, but its finest hour probably came during the Peninsula War, Having served as Marines during Nelson s naval victory over the Danes at Copenhagen in 1807, the 32nd embarked for Spain and were present at the battles of Roleia and VImiera under Sir John Moore and in the retreat on and battle of Corunna in 1808. Returning to Spain in 1811, the 32nd were present at the Sieges of Roderigo and Burgois and the battles of Salamanca, Nivelle, Nive, and Orthes under Wellington. In 1815, the 32nd fought at the battle of Quatre Bras and Waterloo itself. In the mid- 19th century, the Regiment was posted to India where it was present at the Siege of Mooltan and the battle of Goojerat, before helping to quell the Indian Mutiny at Cawnpore and Lucknow. Later in the 19th century it saw service in Egypt.. The author, Col. Swiney, has gallantlyu filled the gaps caused by the repeated disappearence of regimental records with the diaries and recollections of brother officers. The book is plentifully illustrated with ten fine colour plates showing the evolution of the regimental uniform; notes on its costume and equipment; ten black and white pictures, and fifteen appendices on such interesting subjects as the regiment s VC holders, its roll of officers, and biographies and memoirs of its colonels and officers. An unusually full and complete account of a distinguished unit.

This third and final volume in the 274-year old history of one of the British Army s most distinguished infantry regiments narrates its part in the retreat from Empire. In these pages covering the immediate post-Second World War years of 1946-1960, the regiment witnesses the end of the Raj in India; and occupation service in Greece, Austria and Germany. The SLI then fought Communist jungle insurgency in the Malayan Emergency and was mobilised to take part in the abortive Suez operation of 1956. The final chapter in the SLI s story is its amalgamation with the equally distinguished West Country regiment, the Duke of Cornwall s Light Infantry. It is, as Field-Marshal Lord Harding writes in his foreword a proud story of devoted and distinguished service in many different parts of the world . With 18 b&w photos, four maps, 18 appendices, a bibliography and an index.

This is a comprehensive and highly emotive volume, borne of years of intensive research and many trips to the battlefields of the Great War.

Poignant stories of camaraderie, tragic twists of fate and noble sacrifice have been collated in an attempt to bring home the reality of war and the true extent of its tragic cost. It is hoped that visitors to the battlefields, whether their relatives are listed within or not, will find their experience enriched by having access to this treasure trove of stories.
