A 'DUKES' TALE

by Philip Elwell  

Philip ‘Ena’ Elwell has produced a highly readable, entertaining and quite unusual account of his service in the British Army in peacetime - from his enlistment as a Boy Soldier in 1970, his 22 years with the Duke of Wellington’s Regiment, rising though the ranks to Warrant Officer Class 2, to his discharge from the Territorial Army in 2001, covering postings to such places as Northern Ireland, Germany, Gibraltar, Namibia and Latvia, as well as exercises in Norway, Canada, Cyprus and Belgium. The book is well illustrated with inspiring colour images, and contains many humorous anecdotes.

HANDBOOK TO ROMAN LEGIONARY FORTRESSES

by Michael C. Bishop

This is a reference guide to Roman legionary fortresses throughout the former Roman Empire, of which approximately eighty-five have been located and identified. With the expansion of the empire and the garrisoning of its army in frontier regions during the 1st century AD, Rome began to concentrate its legions in large permanent bases. Some have been explored in great detail, others are barely known, but this book brings together for the first time the legionary fortresses of the whole empire. At the heart of the book is a referenced and illustrated catalogue of the known bases, each with a specially prepared plan and an aerial photograph. The book is complemented by a website providing online links to particular fortresses and a Google Earth file containing all of the known fortress locations.

New in d/w - 208pp, numerous illustrations & plans

by William Tomkinson

The Experiences of an officer of the 16th Light Dragoons in the Peninsular and Waterloo campaigns of the Napoleonic Wars. In the first chapter the author and his 16th Light Dragoons rashly charge into the rearguard of the French Army and he is shot and bayoneted. In 1810 Tomkinson is once again in Spain fighting the French.
