Kolejny, drugi już tom „Słownika biograficznego oficerów polskich drugiej połowy XVII wieku” obejmuje ogółem 452 biogramy dowódców i urzędników wojskowych czynnych w armii koronnej w latach 1648-1696 (1699). Tom II słownika prezentuje zatem 240 biogramów oficerów i urzędników służących w jednostkach zaciągu narodowego (jazda i piechota) oraz 212 biogramów dowódców zaciągu cudzoziemskiego (jazda, piechota, dragonia i artyleria z inżynierią wojskową). Podobnie jak w tomie pierwszym w większości są to oficerowie wojsk komputowych (od 1652 r.), ale także formacji nadwornych, prywatnych czy powiatowych, których szczegóły kariery wojskowej zdołano zidentyfikować w formie opracowanych biogramów wraz z dołączoną do nich bibliografią.

World War I, also known in its time as the Great War or the War to End all Wars, was an unprecedented conflict in terms of its sheer scale. Fought by men who hailed from all corners of the globe, it saw millions of soldiers do battle in brutal assaults of attrition which dragged on for months with little to no respite. Tens of millions of artillery shells and untold hundreds of millions of rifle and machine gun bullets were fired in a conflict that demonstrated man's capacity to kill each other on a heretofore unprecedented scale, and as always, such a war brought about technological innovation at a rate that made the boom of the Industrial Revolution seem stagnant. The Zeppelins, slow and large as they were, proved to be easy targets for fire from the ground, so they were too vulnerable for reconnaissance in the warzone. Instead, they were used for the task of bombing targets. Bombs were dropped on Paris in August 1914, and Zeppelins bombed Belgian forces as the Germans advanced on Liège. The Germans also used them to bomb England's eastern ports and London in an attempt to disrupt military supplies. On the other side, British pilots destroyed a Zeppelin on the ground at Düsseldorf. This was bombing at its most simple; the explosives were kept on hooks on the side of the machines and dropped by a crew member by hand.

The remarkable story of the seven African American soldiers ultimately awarded the World War II Medal of Honor, and the 50-year campaign to deny them their recognition. In 1945, when Congress began reviewing the record of the most conspicuous acts of courage by American soldiers during World War II, they recommended awarding the Medal of Honor to 432 recipients. Despite the fact that more than one million African-Americans served, not a single black soldier received the Medal of Honor. The omission remained on the record for over four decades.

How fortunate it is that Robert Atkins wrote up his experiences as a young Gurkha officer in India and later Malaya as, seventy years on, they form an important contemporaneous record of two historically significant periods. These diaries tell of a young Army officer’s journey of singular travel and excitement. As the Second World War drew to a close, Robert had set out for India, where his father and grandfather had served before him, armed with a commission in the Indian Army. At the modest age of eighteen he was to join the elite 8th Gurkha Rifles. Then, following Partition and the Independence of India in 1947, he transferred to the British Army along with four of the ten Gurkha Regiments of the Indian Army. Three years later, Robert returned to the East and his former soldiers, and for seven years he was to serve with the First Battalion of the 6th Gurkha Rifles in Malaya.

After the outbreak of the Great War, boys as young as twelve were caught up in a national wave of patriotism and, in huge numbers, volunteered to serve their country. The press, recruiting offices and the Government all contributed to the enlistment of hundreds of thousands of under-age soldiers in both Britain and the Empire. On joining up, these lads falsified their ages, often aided by parents who believed their sons’ obvious youth would make overseas service unlikely. Time made men out of boys. A seventeen-year-old lad serving overseas in 1915 might pass his nineteenth birthday (the minimum age for foreign service) in 1916 and would be no be longer eligible for evacuation to the safety of a base camp or a boat trip home.
