From the front inside fly leaf: Anyone interested in local, military or family history will find this book a mine of information.  From the early days of the Westmorland and Cumberland Yeomanry in the 18th century this book traces the story of some of the north's finest young men.

The Westmoreland and Cumberland Yeomanry served in the Boer War and this story is told in first hand accounts, making for a fascinating read. The First World War is also well documented with personal stories which highlight the bravery of the Troopers as well as the many tragedies.

The author has throroughly researched his subject to make a fascinating read.


The book is illustrated throughout with lots of black and white photographs

The condition of the book is generally ok. The cover has several minor scuffs and blemishes, and some light nibbling and wear along the edges and corners, but the spine is tight and intact, and all pages are clean, intact, unblemished and tightly bound. The book also curves gently upwards along the left and right hand edges, from where it has been stored for a considerable time flat on the shelves.
