The regimental records of the British Army : a historical résumé chronologically arranged of titles, campaigns, honours, uniforms, facings, badges, nicknames, etc.

The volume offers a meticulously ordered survey of every regular British regiment, tracing each unit from its earliest formation through the campaigns that shaped its legacy. Readers will find concise entries on titles, battle honours, uniform colours, facings, badges and the colourful nicknames earned on the field and in peacetime. The text blends factual detail—such as dates of service, key engagements from Maestricht to Waterloo, and changes in dress—with short notes that give personality to the soldiers behind the standards. Cross‑referenced tables at the back help navigate former numbers and territorial titles, making the work a handy guide for anyone interested in military history or genealogical research.

Beyond the cavalry and foot guards, the book covers the Royal Artillery, Engineers, Foot Guards, Territorial Regiments and the various service corps that kept the army operating. Each section presents a clear chronology of campaigns, honours displayed on colours, and the evolution of equipment from cuirasses to modern firearms. The author’s careful editing removes typographical errors while preserving original references, ensuring a reliable resource for scholars and casual listeners alike.
