Extensively researched and thoroughly illustrated, this book provides great detail on the history of the volunteer corps from Oldham and the surrounding areas.
Plenty of statistical detail and well written chronology allows the reader to easily learn about each of the corps from their beginnings through to domestic regime, weaponry of choice and overseas encounters throughout the 1800’s and beyond.
A must for anyone interested in local or military history.
