All of us here at Pen and Sword were saddened to hear of the death of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who has for many years been a strong supporter of Pen and Sword Books.

We are hugely grateful to the Duke of Edinburgh for contributing forewords for several of our titles over the years and for attending a number of book launches, particularly those where we were publishing a history of a regiment where he attended as the representative of HRH The Queen, the regiment’s Colonel in Chief.

It was an honour for us to have met him and worked with him and we acknowledge the tireless support he gave to those regiments on behalf of the Queen and for his unwavering support to the Queen. Our heartfelt condolences at this time are with Her Majesty The Queen and the Royal Family.

Charles Hewitt, Managing Director
