About This Book

The volume presents an official regimental history of a British infantry unit formed in 1674, tracing its stations, campaigns, battles, sieges, and other military operations through the early nineteenth century. It compiles casualty lists, honors and trophies captured, badges and distinctions granted, and biographical sketches of colonels and notable officers, together with organizational details and general commentary on infantry service. Prepared under the Adjutant-General's direction, the record aims to preserve authentic documents of formation and service, to list awards and casualties, and to foster esprit de corps by presenting acts of duty, endurance, and conduct across overseas postings and home service.
