About This Book

The work provides an official regimental history of a single infantry regiment, tracing its origins, deployments, engagements, and organizational changes; it compiles battle and siege accounts, lists of officers, casualties, honors, and distinctions awarded, and records badges and trophies, alongside orders, service rolls, and explanatory notes. It combines narrative summaries of campaigns with official returns, casualty statistics, and citations of commendations to illustrate the regiment's actions and traditions, and includes prefatory material on purpose and methodology, footnotes, and appendices documenting sources and minor textual variants.
