Osprey - Men-at-Arms 003 - Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders
William McElwee
On 1 July 1881 Viscount Cardwell's wholesale reorganisation of the
British Army brought into existence Priness Louise's Argyll and
Sutherland Highlanders. Both had existed as separate regiments even
before their official incorporation into the British Army and on the
face of it, this seemed a highly improbable union, Being separated both
geographically and historically - they had never even served together in
the same theatre. Yet, as history has shown, this unlikely combination
proved to be a tremendous success. William McElwee tells the story of
this most famous of regiments which has served with distinction in World
War I (1914-1918), World War II (1939-1945), and beyond.
