The first fifty pages of this excellent regimental history carry
it on from the conclusion of Colonel Wyndham-Quin's record to the outbreak of the World War, to which the rest of the book is devoted. Although Mr. Fox did not himself serve with the regiment, his experience in France qualified him to make an intelligent use of the first-hand narratives with which various officers furnished him, and he has compiled a clear and interesting narrative. The R.G.H.Y. went to Gallipoli in August, 1915, thence to Egypt—where in dis- mounted action they captured a Turkish battery in action at Romani—and from October, 1917, to the Armistice they took a distinguished part in Lord Allenby's brilliant Palestine campaigns. Perhaps the best proof of their high efficiency is the fact that 163 commissions were given to members of the regiment.
