Historical Record of the Thirty-first, or, the Huntingdonshire Regiment of Foot; containing an account of the formation of the regiment in 1702, and of its subsequent services to 1850

This volume offers a meticulously compiled chronicle of a distinguished line infantry regiment, tracing its birth under royal command and following its movements across home stations and distant battlefields. It records the campaigns, sieges, and engagements that shaped the unit’s reputation, highlighting moments when its colours flew triumphantly and enemy trophies were seized.

Beyond the operational narrative, the work lists the officers and men who fell or were wounded, and celebrates those whose gallantry earned medals, titles, and special commendations. Detailed descriptions of the regiment’s unique badges and honorary devices illustrate the symbols of honor that set it apart. By presenting these achievements in a clear, factual style, the record not only preserves military history but also aims to inspire future soldiers with the exemplary deeds of their forebears.
