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.

Conclusion.

The foregoing pages contain a detail of the services of the NINETY-SECOND HIGHLAND REGIMENT for fifty-eight years from the period of its formation in 1793, during which it has shared in the honors acquired in many of the arduous and distinguished actions, which have largely increased the fame of the British army.

The distinctions, which it has gained on active foreign service, are duly attested by the inscriptions on the regimental colour, and the national credit of the regiment has been maintained by its correct and orderly conduct, and its attention to the rules of discipline, in every station at which it has been employed, whether at home or abroad.
