Record of the Dorsetshire Yeomanry. Edited by Captain M. F.

Gage. (F. Bennett, Sherborne.)—This is the continuation of Colonel Thompson's History of the regiment. It carries on the history of the corps from 1823, the date to which Colonel Thompson carried it down, to 1905. Part II. gives a narrative of the services of the regiment in South Africa. The contingent came into contact with the enemy for the first time on April 18th, 1900, and for the last a little more than a year afterwards. The record of the intervening time is highly creditable. Part III. gives a number of coloured illustrations of the Dorset Yeomanry uniform from 1794 downwards, and an appendix supplies a number of personal details.
