The Royal Norfolk Regiment is one of the oldest and most distinguished
fighting forces in the British army. Its line of descent can be traced
back for over three centuries, all the way from modern Afghanistan to
Monmouth's rebellion in 1685.
Throughout these years, and many campaigns, the regiment has maintained
a marked local loyalty and tradition which remain strong today. This
sense of local identity is celebrated by Jon Sutherland and Diane
Canwell in this highly illustrated history of the regiment which
describes, in graphic detail, the exploits of Norfolk soldiers who have
made a notable contribution to the British army in every major conflict
the country has faced.
