An excellent battalion record from Normandy beaches to the breakout (they got through three COs. - all killed our wounded within ten days - in Normandy), then a hard fighting advance through the Low Countries & into the Fatherland. Roll of Hon. & awards (with extracts from official recommendations), officers' services & roll of senior NCOs. Attractive history produced soon after the end of the war while the regiment was in Germany: it was printed for the men of the Seventh Battalion & for their next of kin & was not for public sale. Orig. paper covd. boards with green cloth backstrip & dec. paper onlay to front.
