After taking a first-class degree in Modern History at Balliol, Rex
Whitworth served in the Grenadier Guards during the war and left
the army as a Major General in 1970. From 1970 1981 he was a
Bursar and Fellow of Exeter College, Oxford. He was made a
particular study of British Military History in the mod-eighteenth
century. He has written a Life of Field-Marshal Earl Ligonier and a
short history of the Grenadier Guards, as well as articles on Wolfe
Butcher Cumberland and Amherst.
In his editing of this diary of James Wood, Rex Whitworth sheds new
light on this much neglected period of the history of the Royal
Regiment of Artillery.
