About This Book

A detailed regimental record recounts the unit's origin in 1758 and follows its stations, campaigns, and organizational changes through 1848, synthesizing official orders, muster lists, casualty returns, and honours. It enumerates engagements, records officers and enlisted men killed or wounded, notes distinctions and badges granted, and offers biographical sketches of notable officers. Prefatory material explains compilation methods and the work's aim to preserve service annals that convey operational experiences, hardships, and the esprit de corps of those who served.
