The 109 Foot Regiments of the British Army

"WITHOUT THEM YOU CANNOT WIN A BATTLE, WITHOUT THEM YOU CAN DO NOTHING AT ALL." These are the words of Field Marshal Montgomery, speaking of the infantry, and of all infantry formations they apply most squarely to the Foot Regiments. At last, J. A. Miles has dedicated a scholarly work to the ones everybody takes for granted: the men of the Foot Regiments. From the beginnings of Britain's modern army in Cromwell's day, Miles spotlights and clarifies the role the Foot Regiments played in every major battle in which the British Army took part until 1900.
