Historical Record of the Twelfth, or the Prince of Wales's Royal Regiment of Lancers / Containing an Account of the Formation of the Regiment in 1715, and of Its Subsequent Services to 1848.

The volume narrates the origin of a British cavalry regiment from its 18th‑century formation and follows its deployments, engagements, and evolutions through the first half of the 19th century, including service in Egypt, the Iberian campaigns, and at Waterloo. It compiles official orders, lists of stations and battles, and detailed accounts of sieges, actions, and captured trophies. The record names officers and other ranks killed or wounded, lists honours and badges granted, and presents biographical sketches of colonels and notable figures. Published under the Adjutant‑General's direction, the work is arranged as distinct regimental parts and illustrated with uniform plates to serve both historical record and regimental esprit de corps.
