Historical Record of the Thirty-sixth, or the Herefordshire Regiment of Foot: containing an account of the formation of the regiment in 1701, and of its subsequent services to 1852

A regimental history presents a chronological account of a British infantry corps, outlining its formation, postings, campaigns, battles, sieges, and the trophies and distinctions it achieved. It documents casualties and honors, names officers and other ranks singled out for gallantry, and specifies the badges, colours, and devices granted to the unit. The volume combines narrative service records with administrative documents and general orders, and includes biographical sketches of colonels and notable officers. Compiled under official supervision, the work aims to preserve institutional memory, convey the hardships and achievements of service, and foster esprit de corps among serving and former members.
