Notes
This is an important book. It is written by a soldier who served with the Princess Pats. Not only is it the story of Hamilton Gault, which is as entertaining a story as they come, but it was Gault who "founded" the Princess Pats and took them to the Great War. Thus much of this book is about the war. And because it is about the man who actually started the regiment, it takes its place in this category as opposed to the category for biographies.
