The Royal Leicestershire Regiment has been the subject of two major books in recent years. Both draw heavily on first hand accounts and personal testimony, supplied either by the men of the Tigers themselves or their families. A select bibliography of the best published personal accounts by those who served in the regiment appears at the foot of this page.
