The Irish Guards in the Great War: The First Batallion : Edited and Compiled from Their Diaries and Papers

Rating:
Summary: Well worth the Wait
Review: Mr Kipling has always been a favorite author of mine. My intense intrest in English and specifically Irish, Scots and Welsh military history led me to reading both volumes on the 1st and 2d Battalions of the Irish Guards. Mr. Kipling's history of the Irish Guards is a spectacular book set that unflinchingly describes the sacrifices of the men of the Regiment (and that generation) that willing sacrificed themselves for their comrades on the Fields of France. For those intrested, I highly recommend another great book entitled, Ireland's Forgotten Soldiers. It details the establishment and battles that the 16th Irish Division participated in and the Redmond Volunteers in the Great War.
