Book Description
Many great players and many great characters have played for Gloucester Rugby in the 149 years of the Club's history. Choosing the 375 players to include in this book was not an easy task. The reader will find that all players who have made 100 First XV appearances are included, as are all players who played for their country while members of the Club. All club captains are also included and a number of colourful characters and loyal club servants who were keen to play for the First or Second XVs each Saturday (or wet Wednesday evening) throughout long careers. An appendix contains the career statistics of all 1,985 players known to have appeared for the Gloucester 1st XV. The contributors to this book are all members of Gloucester Rugby Heritage, a charity run by volunteers and supported by Gloucester Rugby and Gloucestershire Archives. The book is the fourth in a series of five books, previous volumes having recorded the history of the Kingsholm ground, representative matches played there, and Gloucester Rugby in cup competitions.

Book Description
This book is a comprehensive record of matches played by Gloucester Rugby in cup competitions - from the early 1900s, when cup rugby was rather frowned upon, to victory in the first national knockout competition in 1972, to the highs and lows, glory and despair, of cup matches up to 2019. Richly illustrated with photographs of these often epic encounters, this book will bring back memories of Gloucester competing in English, Anglo-Welsh and European Cup campaigns. The Club's participation in Tens and Sevens rugby is also covered. This book has been produced by Gloucester Rugby Heritage, a charity run by volunteers, and supported by Gloucester Rugby and Gloucestershire Archives. It is the third in a series of five books, previous volumes having recorded the history of the Kingsholm ground and representative matches played there, whilst future publications will recount Gloucester players and the full playing record of the Club.

Book Description
From the establishment of Gloucester as a Roman colonia, a colony of retired military veterans, the city has held a strategic position, being close to the easiest crossing over the River Severn and into Wales. The Romans began building the city's defences, including the city walls and bastions, which were further enhanced by the great warrior Aethelflaed and which would become invaluable in the Siege of Gloucester during the Civil War in 1643. These walls would be destroyed by Charles II as a punishment for the city's role in the conflict. In the twelfth century, Gloucester's first motte and bailey castle were built and used by a number of kings as a garrison to prepare attacks against the Welsh and the Irish. The formation of what would become known as 'The Glorious Glosters', in 1782, led to a number of notable military campaigns, including the battles of Alexandria, Quatre Bras, the Second Boer War, including the Siege of Ladysmith, both World Wars and the Korean War. Christine's book will take you on an historic journey, uncovering on the way the city's military legacy.
