Description

Cornwall's rich military history spans centuries, with evidence of its significance still visible today. The county's strategic location and Celtic independence allowed it to resist invaders, including the Romans and Anglo-Saxons, until the Middle Ages. This book explores Cornwall's military heritage, examining the battles fought on its soil, the measures taken to defend it, and the military units raised in the county that fought in conflicts abroad. Cornwall played a significant role in several historical events, including the Prayer Book Rebellion in 1549, the Spanish raid in 1595, and the English Civil War, where it was a Royalist stronghold. The county's military heritage is also reflected in its castles, fortifications, airfields, military bases, and monuments. This book delves into the history of these sites and the soldiers who fought from Cornwall, shedding light on the county's remarkable military past. For those interested in learning more about Cornwall's military history, this book provides a comprehensive and engaging exploration of the subject.
