Some regimental histories—and their name has been legion --are of

interest only to the members of some particular corps, but the history of The Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers (Constable, illustrated, 21s.) takes a much wider scope. With very notable skill Sir Frank Fox not only delivers the story of the thirteen battalions of the regiment which served throughout the War (ten of them abroad), but most adroitly moulds his narrative in such a way as to make it a history in microcosm of the whole struggle. The book will, therefore, stand as a record and inspiration to the regiment, but it is also one of general appeal and interest : a fine story finely told.
