The work offers insights into the nicknames, customs, and histories associated with various regiments of the British Army. It dives into the significance of these nicknames often derived from battles, peculiarities in uniforms, and historical events that shaped the identities of these regiments. The opening portion of this text sets the stage by explaining the context in which the book was written, particularly highlighting the changes in regiment titles that occurred with the adoption of the Territorial System in 1881. It notes the loss of old nicknames that were often tied to humorous and memorable incidents in regimental history. Furthermore, the foreword emphasizes the importance of preserving these traditions as a means to celebrate the spirit and accomplishments of the British Army, which has a rich legacy of bravery and dedication that spans over four centuries. The goal of the book is to rekindle public interest in military history and the fascinating stories behind the regiment names, inspiring a deeper appreciation of the British Army's contributions.
