About This Book

An official regimental history compiles the origin, stations, campaigns, battles, sieges, and engagements of a British cavalry regiment, with detailed accounts of honours, captured trophies, badges, and distinctions and the circumstances that led to them. It records names and numbers of casualties, lists officers specially commended, and includes biographical memoirs of colonels and other distinguished figures. Prefatory material explains the government directive to preserve regimental records and to foster esprit de corps, while the body offers a chronological narrative of deployments, actions, and the hardships of service, plus appendices noting editorial changes and source materials.
