History of the 1st Battalion, 2nd Punjab Regiment Late, 67th Punjabis, and Originally, 7th Madras Infantry 1761-1928
This is a hybrid between an old fashioned type of Indian Army unit history and the more informative style which later replaced it. The text is still rooted firmly in extracts from Regimental records and official reports, but the authors have expanded upon these with their own linking narrative. Although brief, the result is readable and informative.Appendixes, Honours and awards, list of former COs, other officers, notes on Battle Honours, badges and insignia complete this history.Regimental Great War Battle Honours are Loos, France and Flanders 1915, Helles, Krithia, Gallipoli 1915, Suez Canal, Egypt 191517, Gaza,

During the First World War, the AVC tripled its officers, and the number of other ranks grew forty-fold. By 1918, nearly half of all veterinary surgeons in Britain were serving in the corps. Engaged on the Western Front, at Gallipoli, Salonika, Mesopotamia and Palestine, it treated sick and wounded cavalry, transport and artillery animals. It also diversified, dealing with horses that had been gassed, setting up four farriery schools, and even treating camels in the Middle East. Around 80 per cent of the animals it treated were returned to duty. Following the Armistice in 1918, it was granted the 'Royal' prefix in recognition of its service.Based on official documents, this is one of the rarer of the Great War Official History series, and as you would expect much of the text is concerned with equine matters. All theatres of engagement are covered in detail, including France and Belgium, East Africa, Egypt and Palestine, Gallipoli, Germany, South West Africa, Italy, Macedonia, Mesopotamia, Persia and Togoland, and the Cameroons along with North and South Russia. Topics include transportation, field equipment, technical pamphlets, and care of camels.This is a massive tome and is essential to complete any run of the Great War Official Histories.
