Rose, Castle and Crown' offers a unique exploration of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight's citizen soldiers, tracing their history from the militia and yeomanry to the Territorial Army and today's Army Reserve. Placed in the wider context of British Army history, this book sheds light on the often-overlooked role of local auxiliary forces in defending the country's shores. Little has been written about these brave individuals who, throughout history, have balanced their service with family demands and civilian employment. This book tells their story.
