This short book of War Tales is not a Regimental History. When one considers that the Mercian Regiment sprang from nine original Regiments, and that well over half a million men wore their cap badges in the Great War alone, it is obvious that such a History would be a considerable volume. It is instead a collection of stories that illustrate the adventures and hardships of our Regimental ancestors.

This comprehensive pocket guide includes full and up-to-date details of all British military organisations and structures. This edition includes detail regarding all of the UK MoD’s latest future force proposals. The Armed Forces of the United Kingdom 2007-2008 is an invaluable reference tool and essential reading for all those who wish to be informed of the current state of the UK’s defence forces.
