    Fighting Tykes

    Fighting Tykes: An Informal History of The Yorkshire Regiments In the Second World War

    By Charles Whiting & Eric Taylor.

    ISBN 184415645-1

    So far an absolutely cracking book, well written and would make any Yorkshireman proud. Even more so for me as most of the Regiments featured both Regular and Territorial make up the history of my Regiment today.

    - Well worth a read!
