AS it covers the whole history of the regiment, there is a fair amount of dry accounts of administrative changes and moves. That said, there is also information on the lesser known activities of the regiment, which is quite interesting.

A lot of hard history in this, meaning regimental numbers more than narrative, but some interesting parts. Quite the story, amazing piece of Second World War history.
