The Guards Brigade consisted of three battalions, the 3rd Grenadier Guards, 1st Coldstream Guards and 1st Scottish Fusilier Guards (as the Scots Guards were then known).
The book examines the causes of the War and provides an analysis of the woeful disorganization of the Army (in contrast to the efficiency of the Royal Navy), as well as the Brigade's performance in the major battles including Alma and Inkerman.
The author describes the Russians' plans, the ground and conditions experienced by the long suffering troops and examines the roles and abilities of the various commanders, who were often found wanting. After the war was over, the return home and parades are also described.
