Raised on Sir Henry Lawrence’s idea and trained by Harry Lumsden, the Queen’s Own Corps of Guides became the British army’s most celebrated frontier regiment in India. Younghusband, himself a Guides officer, tells its story: Mooltan, frontier skirmishes of the 1850s, the great march to Delhi in 1857 and the stand of Cavagnari’s escort at Kabul.
Regimental history told as adventure, with the imperial outlook of its Edwardian author. Download the free EPUB.
