These regulations were issued on 1st April 1891 over the signature of Redvers Buller; then Adjutant General and holder of the VC; later C in C in the opening stages of the Boer War; he didn’t last long in the job. After some general instructions these regulations go on to lay down the dress for the Staff and for all Arms of Service - Cavalry; Artillery; Engineers; Infantry; Army Service Corps and Departments (e.g Chaplains; Medical; Pay etc). The Cavalry is divided into Household; Dragoon Guards and Dragoons; Hussars and Lancers; the Infantry into the different types of regiments - Foot Guards; Scottish regiments; Rifle regiments; Light infantry regiments and the other Line regiments. Every aspect and variety of dress is covered. Finally there are tables describing the badges of every infantry regiment of the Line as worn on buttons; headgear; collars and waist-plates .

Nonetheless; 'The Suez Crisis' is OK as an introduction to this topic. It's in desperate need of a good editor to make it more useful as a reference work. The narrative path is too narrow. The reader presses on; hoping the book will take a broader view; Varble gets too bogged down in the unnecessary minutiae of military movements and campaign tactics. One misses the contextualisation of a more panoramically-minded historian. Disappointingly; there is far too little information about the role of the Eisenhower administration in the outcome; and the consequent ramifications for Eden's premiership. I was also left wanting to know more about Britain's aspirations; and how the whole affair signalled the melancholy end of England's once-majestic Empire. The book seems underdone; it has a semi- professional feel. The writer; although clearly well-read and well-qualified on his topic; has been allowed to proceed to publication with a manuscript suffering from a lack of editorial rigour. Alas scholarship alone does not a writer make.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. To Topple NasserBy James D. CrabtreeThis book looks at the 1956 War between Egypt on one side and the French; British and Israelis on the other. Egypt had nationalized the Suez Canal; contrary to international law and several treaties. Israel was to "raid" the Sinai in order to give a joint Anglo-French force the opportunity to "intervene" by occupying the Canal Zone and seperating the two belligerents.This book looks at the original planning that went into the war on the Allied side (the original Contingency Plan; Musketeer and Revise) and the results when the Revise Plan was finally initiated. For a short book this volume provides the essence of what the Suez Crisis was all about; the plans strengths and weaknesses and the political issues involved. Well written; the book includes maps and photos.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Facts of the Suez CrisisBy Kindle CustomerHistory book; bought it because my wife; English; blames me personally for the loss of the British Empire. Eisenhower would not back the French and English on the Suez canal which lead to the British Empire crumbling; ergo; all my fault because I am an American.
