Centurions of a Century. Suffolk 12th Regiment of Foot. By C. H. Gardiner. 1st Edition.

Centurions of a Century (19th century) is an interesting book and covers the wars between 1748, the seven years’ war and 1902, the Anglo Boer war.

It is full of historical facts concerning every war from the date above and the roll in which the Suffolk’s played in important battles.

This book is in good readable condition, linen with light scuffing to the front cover and front and back boards slightly detached. Written by C. H. Gardiner who served with the Suffolk regiment as an officer for 27 years.
