Historical record of the Ninety-second Regiment, originally termed "The Gordon Highlanders" and numbered the Hundredth Regiment : $b Containing an account of the formation of the Regiment in 1794, and of its subsequent services to 1850

This volume gathers the official chronicle of a celebrated Highland regiment from its birth in 1794 through the mid‑nineteenth century. Drawing on general orders, gazette reports and painstaking regimental archives, it maps the unit’s early organization, its deployments across the British Empire, and the formal recognitions granted by the Crown. Readers hear the same language that once guided officers and inspired recruits, offering a clear window onto the bureaucracy behind battlefield glory.

Beyond the paperwork, the book brings to life the regiment’s first engagements, describing the hardships of campaign, the fierce clashes that earned medals, and the colourful standards captured from opponents. Personal citations of bravery introduce the soldiers whose deeds were meant to set a model for future generations. The narrative also touches on the everyday trials of military service—climate, disease, and long stretches of peace—painting a fuller picture of what it meant to serve in an era when war was a distant, yet ever‑present, possibility.
