Jon Sutherland "Holy Boys". As I read this book I keep thinking "Why has he said that?", or "That's not what happened!" or "He's got the name wrong". It's a shoddy effort. Was the regiment called the "Royal East Anglians" in the 1970s? I could list numerous slips, factual errors and so on but won't bore the reader. Poor stuff from an author who has also written kids' football and wargame books, on business, ghosts and cooking, etc, etc. Did Pen and Sword really ask him to write this? It was a job for a veteran or a military historian!
The Royal Norfolk Regiment is one of the oldest and most distinguished fighting forces in the British army. Its line of descent can be traced back for over three centuries, all the way from modern Afghanistan to Monmouths rebellion in 1685.Throughout these years, and many campaigns, the regiment has maintained a marked local loyalty and tradition which remain strong today. This sense of local identity is celebrated by Jon Sutherland and Diane Canwell in this highly illustrated history of the regiment which describes, in graphic detail, the exploits of Norfolk soldiers who have made a notable contribution to the British army in every major conflict the country has faced.
