Philip ‘Ena’ Elwell has produced a highly readable, entertaining
and quite unusual account of his service in the British Army in
peacetime - from his enlistment as a Boy Soldier in 1970, his 22
years with the Duke of Wellington’s Regiment, rising though the
ranks to Warrant Officer Class 2, to his discharge from the
Territorial Army in 2001, covering postings to such places as
Northern Ireland, Germany, Gibraltar, Namibia and Latvia, as well as
exercises in Norway, Canada, Cyprus and Belgium. The book is well
illustrated with inspiring colour images, and contains many humorous
anecdotes.
This is a reference guide to Roman legionary
fortresses throughout the former Roman Empire, of
which approximately eighty-five have been located
and identified. With the expansion of the empire and
the garrisoning of its army in frontier regions
during the 1st century AD, Rome began to concentrate
its legions in large permanent bases. Some have been
explored in great detail, others are barely known,
but this book brings together for the first time the
legionary fortresses of the whole empire. At the
heart of the book is a referenced and illustrated
catalogue of the known bases, each with a specially
prepared plan and an aerial photograph. The book is
complemented by a website providing online links to
particular fortresses and a Google Earth file
containing all of the known fortress locations.
