The Irish Guards in the Great War: Volumes I & II

By Rudyard Kipling

A tale of courage and fortitude, the story of a regiment that endured terrible losses, but which also took the fight to the enemy, and never flagged in its will to win, nor lost sight of its own moral values even in the midst of a terrible war. Instead of attempting a broad and balanced narrative in the traditional style of official regimental historians, Kipling decided to stick to matters which directly touched the men’s lives.
