      The 3rd Mountain Battery began life in 1759 as Captain T.Smith s Company, 3rd Battalion Royal Artillery . The opening pages of the narrative describe the dress, equipment and establishment noting that every man had his hair combed back, tied in a club three-quarters of a yard long with a broad black ribbon and well powdered with white. After a few designation changes, described in the narrative, the unit s title became No 3 Mountain Battery in 1889, the oldest mountain battery in the Royal Artillery by virtue of being the first to be equipped as one. This record goes from 1759 to 1908 and during that time the battery certainly saw plenty of action from the American War of Independence to Corunna to the Crimea and then, for thirty years (1878-1908) in India/Burma, in India mainly on the NW Frontier: Kabul, relief of Kandahar, Zhob Valley Field Force, Burma, Sikkim, Miranzai, Isazai, Chitral, Mohmand, Tirah. The last twenty pages contain the names of all the officers who served with the battery during the 150 years covered in the book, when they served and the expeditions or campaigns they were in with any medals.

      The battery was formed on 26th August 1914 as a 4-gun 4.7in battery. It went to France in May 1915 with the 9th (Scottish) Division which it left within a few days to join H.A.Reserve and went into action near Armentieres. Subsequently it joined 16th H.A.Brigade and in January 1917 it was re-equipped with 60 pdrs.. This account is based on the Battery Log but the record is not complete in detail prior to 27th May 1918 a great deal of the necessary information having been lost due to enemy action. Details that are there include the dates of movements with locations from arrival in France to the Armistice; list of Honours and Awards; Roll of Honour with date, place and, in many cases cause of death; battle casualties from 27th May 1917; record of officers who served with the battery in France, and finally the names and (most unusual) home addresses of NCOs and Men. This book is not listed in White s Bibliography.

      The British Army can trace its lineage back to 1682, when, although raised by Charles II, it was still strongly influenced by the standards and values of the New Model Army, created by Thomas Fairfax and Oliver Cromwell to defeat the Royalists in the English Civil War. This rare and interesting book not only reflects the Puritan morality that was imposed on the soldier at the time, but is also an important military and social document The book describes army life, and what was expected of both raw recruits and young officers. Two chapters deal with discipline, and there are many advisory passages on the behavior of officers, including a recommendation that an officer should have no passion. However, the book is not just a moralising tract. It gives instructions on how to observe the enemy, and what should be looked for, together with guidance in battle craft. Essentially the book gives a picture of an army in the process of being born, and the standards of military behaviour at that time, which imakes it such an exceptionally important volume for the historian.

    • Valentino weiß: Ich bin kein Frosch, ich bin ein Prinz. Und er macht sich auf die Suche nach einer Prinzessin. Unterwegs nimmt er das Vögelchen Isabella mit. Einmal sehen sie einen Storch und Isabella fragt erschrocken: “Bin ich vielleicht auch einer?” Doch Valentino sagt: “Du siehst nur so aus.” Beim Schloss angekommen, trennen sie sich. Valentino springt in den Schlossbrunnen – aber da sind Hunderte von gekrönten Fröschen und die lachen ihn aus, weil er keine Krone trägt. Da weiß er: Ich bin ein ganz gewöhnlicher Frosch. Auf dem Heimweg rettet ihn Isabella aus einer Panne und zieht sein Cabrio nach Hause. Sie ist tatsächlich ein Storch, aber sie sind ja Freunde.
