‘Distinguished Service’ is the fifth collaboration between Christopher Jary and Nick Speakman. This brand new book details the brave exploits of around a hundred men from the Devonshire and Dorsetshire regiments (including their parent Regiments, the 11^th, the 39^th and the 54^th of Foot) up until 1914.

It details campaigns such as the Peninsula Wars, the Crimean War and the Wars in South Africa, and features a reproduction of a piece by Jeremy Archer ‘Saving  the Sarah Sands’.

Distinguished Service is a must read for anybody interested in the 11th Foot, 39th Foot, 54th Foot, Devonshire Regiment and Dorsetshire Regiment, and gallantry awards 1799-1914.
