POLICING THE EMPIRE

FURTHER READING

The following is a list of books for those who may wish to delve deeper into the history of the old East Yorkshire Regiment, or those who need to fill in some of the many gaps I have left; or to bring their knowledge more up to date by including both World Wars. The list was originally provided by the national Army Museum, Chelsea, London, to whom go my thanks for their generous assistance. Some of the works might be a little more difficult to obtain than others, although enquiries at Local Studies Libraries should prove helpful. What follows is in no particular order.
