About This Book

The volume compiles an official regimental history tracing the unit's formation, garrison stations, campaigns, battles, sieges, and military operations, with particulars on captured colors, trophies, and casualties; it records officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates killed or wounded, honors and medals awarded, distinctive badges and devices, and biographical sketches of colonels and notable officers. Prefatory material explains the work's purpose to preserve records, inspire esprit de corps, and provide a chronological account of services both at home and abroad. Arranged in numbered parts, it presents official orders, lists, and narrative summaries intended for military and general readers interested in the regiment's achievements and institutional memory.
