Historical records of the Buffs, East Kent Regiment (3rd Foot) : Formerly designated the Holland Regiment and Prince George of Denmark's Regiment

A concise yet thorough chronicle follows the Buffs, East Kent Regiment through the four tumultuous years of the First World War. Beginning with the outbreak of hostilities, the narrative traces how each of the regiment’s eight battalions moved from home stations to the Western Front, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East, highlighting early engagements such as the Battle of the Aisne and the fight at Radinghem. The author balances official reports with glimpses of individual bravery, acknowledging that many small acts of heroism go unrecorded.

The second part of the work expands to cover later campaigns, from the grinding trench warfare of Ypres and the Somme to the daring assaults in Gallipoli, Mesopotamia, and Palestine. Readers encounter the regiment’s role in key moments like the Hohenzollern Redoubt, the battles of Cambrai, and the final pushes of 1918, all presented with a clear, factual style. This volume serves as a compact reference for anyone interested in the regiment’s collective experience during the Great War.
