Aldershot, Gale & Polden Ltd., 1959. First edition. Hardcover. This scarce book is a unit history of the Queen's Own 4th Hussars, particularly notable for a foreword and contributions by Winston S. Churchill. The 4th Hussars was at Aldershot in 1895 when Lieutenant Winston Churchill joined it from Sandhurst as the junior subaltern. The 4th Hussars would experience much of its most conspicuous glory during Churchill's long life and then would cease to be in the twilight of Churchill's life, just a few years after the end of Churchill's second premiership. Not surprisingly, Churchill contributions to this book are ubiquitous and prominent. Churchill contributes a Foreword dated September 1957, with facsimile signature. There are also numerous lengthy excerpts from Churchill works, including My Early Life, The World Crisis, and The Second World War. Of bibliographic note is Churchill's address of 1 February 1943, which here appears in a version somewhat different from those published in Onwards to… Read More
