Five years in the writing, this comprehensive record includes coverage of training, tactics, the pronounced changes in the armed forces and the views and anecdotes of the Non-Commissioned officers and Guardsmen"--Jacket.

- "An eminent writer has said that regiments great in history have this in common with mortals- through old in glory and honour, they have yet the vigour of youth. To none may the remark be more truthful applied then the Grenadier Guards ... ' Thus wrote Chichester and Burges-Short in 1900 and, judging by the Regiment's history over the last fifty years, the words ring as true as ever. For this history of Grenadier Guards is indeed a microcosm of all the proud endeavours of the British Army. There are few places of significance where the Regiment has not served: after the round-up of Nazis in 1945."@en
