520 _a"Battle Honours of the British Army" by Charles Boswell Norman is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the significant battles and campaigns that shaped the British Army from 1662 to the early 1900s, detailing the honours bestowed upon regiments for their service in various encounters. This includes a focus on the regiments involved and the casualties they faced, highlighting both well-known and lesser-known engagements. The opening of the book sets the stage by introducing the primary purpose of documenting the battle honours that are emblazoned on the colours and awards of British regiments. The author discusses the inconsistencies and complexities surrounding the awarding of these honours, emphasizing the heroism displayed throughout different campaigns such as the Siege of Gibraltar and the operations in the Mediterranean. The narrative includes a detailed account of the historical context and significance of battles, starting with events at Tangier and Gibraltar, as well as a commitment to honour the soldiers who fought and fell in these engagements.
