WOOD, STEPHEN In the finest tradition. The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards (Carabiniers & Greys). Its history and treasures.
Edinburgh, Mainstream Publishing, 1988 Hard Cover Very Good in Good dust jacket
160 pages, 4 color plates, well illustrated, cloth, dust jacket, very good. From the dust jacket: "IN THE FINEST TRADITION is the first book of its kind Eschewing the traditional approach to regimental history, wherein battles are dissected and hoary anecdotes repeated, Stephen Wood tackles the subject from an alternative angle. Appreciating the quality and quantity of the possessions held by The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards (Carabiniers & Greys), Scotland's only cavalry regiment and one known and respected throughout the world, he decided to re-tell its story and illustrate it using the accumulated treasures of the three regiments which go to make up The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. It is a story rich in facts and in fable, in myth and in legend, but the reality of the regiment as an extended and ancient military family permeates it throughout. The book's subject is military history but its illustrations take it into the fields of applied and fine arts, fields never far removed from the subject itself but ones often regarded as separate by traditionalists on both sides of the supposed military/art divide. This is a book which will arouse, charm, annoy and enrapture the reader with its revelations about the history of an exclusive cavalry regiment and its illustrations of the quality of that regiment's possessions."
