County patriotism is a fine thing, and any help that

can further its maintenance or increase its fervour we are delighted

to give. Therefore it is that we are glad once more to call attention to another in the long line of carefully written volumes which describe the doings, sufferings and achieve- Ments of our County regiments in the War. ,The Worcestershire Regiment in the Great War (Cheshire, 30s.) is indeed (as is claimed for it) a compiehensive volume, and, in addition to many pictures, full of most useful maps. As the book is sold to members of the regiment at a nominal price, it is the elear duty of the public, both in the -county and outside. it, to discharge some small part of their debt to the nine thousand Worcesters who fell in their defence, and most notably to the 2nd Battalion which saved the day at Gheluvelt, by purchasing the volume.
