Book Description

Excerpt from Historical Record of the Twenty-Sixth, or Cameronian Regiment - The Names of all such Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers, and. Privates, as may have specially signalized themselves in Action. And, - The Badges and Devices which the Regiment may have been permitted to bear, and the Causes on account of which such Badges or Devices, or any other Marks of Distinction, have been granted. Several regimental histories were in consequence compiled by the late Mr. Richard Cannon, when Principal Clerk of the Adjutant-General's Office, and published, in the first instance, under the patronage of King William the Fourth, and afterwards of Her Majesty the Queen. Upon Mr. Cannon's retirement, after a lengthened official career of upwards of half a century, the Adjutant-General, in consequence of my having assisted that gentleman in preparing these Records, recommended me to the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury as the future Editor, but it was decided that they should not be continued.
