Description

The county of Devon has a rich military history that spans centuries. Evidence of this heritage can be seen throughout the county, with many buildings and structures still standing today. From the 1588 Spanish Armada to the Second World War, Devon played an important role in England's military history. The county was home to several notable naval figures, including Sir Francis Drake, who led the defeat of the Armada off Plymouth. Soldiers from the Devonshire Regiment and the Royal Devon Yeomanry also fought for the country throughout its history. This book explores the long military history of Devon, examining not only the battles that took place on its soil but also the heritage of the military units raised in the county and sent to fight abroad.
