This Military History book is a factual account of the Regiment in their various campaigns in the West Indies, Africa, the Peninsula, Ceylon, Canada and India. 'This Memoir [...] was originally arranged and prepared for publication, from September, 1793, [...] to September, 1863, by Brevet Major Edward William Bray, who was then serving with the Regiment. The later history, from 1864 up to present time, has been collected from the Authentic Records preserved in the Regimental Orderly Room.'--Preface
