About This Book

An official regimental history recounts one infantry regiment's formation in 1702 and its service through 1844, compiling deployments, stations, battles, sieges, and other operations. It provides rosters of officers, lists of killed and wounded, citations of honours and medals, descriptions of colours, trophies, badges, and the reasons for distinctions, and includes illustrative plates and footnotes. Prefatory material explains the purpose of preserving regimental annals to encourage esprit de corps and to record acts of individual and collective gallantry, while the narrative draws on official orders, reports, and archival materials to present an authoritative chronology.
