Cap of Honour: The Story of The Gloucestershire Regiment

Cap of Honour is a detailed and engaging history of the renowned Gloucestershire Regiment, tracing its origins from 1694 through more than two and a half centuries of military service. Drawing on extensive records and firsthand accounts, David Scott Daniell chronicles the regiment's distinguished role in some of Britain's most significant military campaigns, including the War of the Spanish Succession, the Napoleonic Wars, the Boer War, and both World Wars. The book highlights the regiment's courage, traditions, and remarkable achievements, including the famous stand at the Battle of Alexandria in 1801, which earned the regiment the unique distinction of wearing a badge on both the front and back of its cap. Rich in historical detail, personal stories, and military heritage, this volume serves as both a tribute to the soldiers who served and a valuable resource for military historians, genealogists, and collectors of regimental history.
