Official synopsis Publisher
Osprey’s examination of the British Guards during World War I (1914-1918) and World War II (1939-1945).

Over the years they have maintained the highest standards in peace and war, and have served as an example to the rest of the British Army, a benchmark in all matters military from drill and ‘turnout’ to leadership in battle. Veteran Osprey author Mike Chappell describes the history and uniform of the Guards Divisions from 1914-45.
