1 in stock
The Death Or Glory Boys: The Story Of The Seventeenth Lancers by D. H. Parry is a compelling military history work centred on one of Britain’s most famous cavalry regiments, the Seventeenth Lancers. Originally associated with the dramatic campaigns of the late Victorian era and the Anglo-Boer War period, this volume offers readers an engaging account of the regiment’s traditions, battlefield exploits, and military service during a transformative period in British imperial history.
This 2009 Kessinger Publishing paperback edition reproduces the scarce historical text for a modern audience, making The Death Or Glory Boys accessible to collectors, researchers, reenactors, and enthusiasts of Anglo-Boer War history. The Seventeenth Lancers, often remembered by their iconic “Death or Glory” motto and skull-and-crossbones insignia, played a significant role in British cavalry operations and remain one of the most recognisable regiments in British military history.
The Death Or Glory Boys provides insight into cavalry warfare, regimental culture, and the broader context of Britain’s military involvement in Southern Africa at the turn of the twentieth century. Readers with an interest in Boer War campaigns, imperial military history, British cavalry regiments, or Victorian-era warfare will find this title particularly appealing.
Kessinger Publishing’s reproduction preserves the historical importance of the original work while acknowledging that some imperfections may exist due to the source material used in the facsimile process. Such reprints have become increasingly sought after as affordable and practical alternatives to prohibitively expensive original editions.
The Death Or Glory Boys is an excellent addition to any South African military history collection, Anglo-Boer War library, or specialist shelf devoted to British regimental histories.
