About This Book

An officer compiles a detailed regimental history tracing formation, battalion organization, and operational service across early 19th-century campaigns. Drawing on official records, officers' journals, and veterans' recollections, it narrates movements and engagements during the Peninsular War, the retreat to Corunna, expeditions such as Walcheren and New Orleans, and later actions in the Crimea and India, including mutiny-era operations. Chapters combine battlefield narratives, personal memoirs, maps, plans, lists of officers, and notes on peacetime life to present an operational and institutional account of the regiment's service.
