, in wars with the Swedes, in all subsequent campaigns of the XVIII and XIX centuries, and in the First World War. Such a combat biography, marked with collective awards (St. George's banners, St. George's trumpets, etc.) was envied by the most eminent army regiments.

Измайловцы
Серия "Полки Русской Армии"
Александр Бондаренко
Книга "Измайловцы" продолжает серию "Полки Русской армии". Лейб-гвардии Измайловский полк, основанный императрицей Анной Иоанновной, оставил в истории государства Российского достойный и заметный след. Будучи "младшим братом" преображенцев и семеновцев, полк участвовал в походах под предводительством Миниха, в войнах со шведами, во всех последующих кампаниях XVIII и XIX веков, в Первой мировой войне. Такой боевой биографии, таким коллективным наградам (Георгиевские знамена, Георгиевские трубы и т. д.) могли бы позавидовать самые именитые армейские полки. Книга, как и предыдущие, включает три раздела: "Из истории лейб-гвардии Измайловского полка", "Биографии измайловцев" и "Мемуары измайловцев". В книге представлено множество иллюстраций и фотографий, некоторые из них публикуются впервые.
