About This Book

The volume presents an official regimental record tracing the unit's origin in the late 17th century and its subsequent deployments, battles, sieges, and garrison stations. It compiles campaign narratives, casualty lists, honours and captured trophies, descriptions of badges and devices, and biographical sketches of senior officers. Drawn from official orders and muster returns, the account records engagements, individual acts of distinction, and administrative details useful for military reference and esprit de corps. Plates and chronological lists accompany the narrative, offering a practical memorial of service for former members, descendants, and general readers interested in regimental history.
