Neill’s ‘Blue Caps’ VOL 3 1914 – 1922

This volume describes the early history of a Regiment originally known as the East India Company’s European Regiment, the Madras European regiment, the 1st Madras European Fusiliers, the 102nd Royal Madras Fusiliers, the 102nd Royal Madras Fusiliers and the Royal Dublin Fusiliers. Published in three volumes, this massive compilation is by the classic military historian Col. H.C. Wylly and is one of his greatest works. Both highly informative and fluently written, the first two volumes of the series covers the services of the Madras Fusiliers in their various incarnations from 1746 to 1881 when the 102nd Royal Madras Fusiliers were amalgamated with the 103rd Bombay Fusiliers to form the Royal Dublin Fusiliers.
