This is a compilation of Honours and Awards to the 35th Regiment of Foot the Royal Sussex Regiment from 1701 to 1966 when the regiment was amalgamated into the Queen's Regiment. It has taken me 25 years of research to finally finish something I had started in 1996. I was researching my maternal grandfather's Service Record when I found that he had been awarded a Mentioned in Despatches in 1919 so I decided to find out what the regiment had been awarded. With the great assistance of Alan Readman, assistant archivist at the West Sussex Record Office, I had access to all their records and photographs to use in my books; at the time I was working at the British Library Newspaper Library in Colindale and had access to all British and foreign newspapers with their press write ups and photographs, including British Forces newspapers circa WWII.This book was written in three parts: the first covered 1863-1920, the second 1921-1966. The first was published in 2000 and the second in 2004. The third was written after I had retired and the books amalgamated with the previous mistakes and omissions rectified and extra photographs added which were not available at the times of publication. The Honours and Awards range from the Victoria Cross to Cadet Force awards, there are no Campaign medal awards included except the Waterloo Medal which was the first medal awarded to all participants regardless of their rank. All foreign awards are also included in rank order. Included at the end of the book are two sections showing all the Royal Sussex prisoners-of-war from 1940-1945, and all Royal Sussex personnel who died from 1939-1953 in alphabetical order, including country of burial or memorial.
