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.

FOOTNOTES:

[49] The Corps, which had been formed in 1737 by Colonel James Oglethorpe for service in Georgia and South Carolina, was disbanded in 1749. It had not been ranked in the number of regiments of infantry in the Official Records of the Army, although in some publications of that period it was numbered the Forty-second, regiment, according to its seniority and the date of its formation.

[50] A Fourth Division was formed at Woolwich by Order in Council dated 15th August, 1805.
