The proud story of the Territorial Army from its inception in 1908. It is the story of deeds of heroism in two World Wars; of enthusiasm battling with peacetime muddle and neglect; of an institution so peculiarly British that it bewildered and confounded its foreign critics - yet moved them to imitation. This is a new edition of the original 1966 book, with a new chapter on the Territorial Army since its reorganisation. With an introduction by Major-General J.A. d'Avigdor-Goldsmid.
