About This Book

The volume chronicles the formation of the regiment from its raising as the second battalion of the Forty-Second Royal Highlanders in 1780 and traces its service through 1851. It provides a chronological account of stations, campaigns, battles, sieges, and notable military operations; lists officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates killed or wounded; records honors, badges, captured trophies, and distinctions conferred; and includes biographical sketches of colonels and distinguished officers. Compiled under Adjutant-General authority, the work aims to preserve regimental records, illustrate examples of bravery and endurance, and to foster esprit de corps by presenting official reports, casualty details, and awarded recognitions.
