Synopsis
Excerpt from Short Histories of the Territorial Regiments of the British Army: Including the Names of the Officers and Soldiers Who Have Won the Victoria Cross, or the Distinguished Conduct Medal
The Territorial Regiments of the British Army are those Infantry corps which, in 1881, were given a definite geo graphical connection, With an appropriate territorial title in place of their old numbers, and so became the representatives in the ranks of the Army, of particular cities, counties, or districts of the British Isles.
In order to interest the population of these various areas in their representative corps, and to stimulate recruiting, a short history of the services of each regiment was prepared in pamphlet form, for distribution in its own recruiting area.
These histories were compiled chiefly from information sup plied by the officers commanding the regimental depots but owing to the necessity of compressing the achievements of centuries into a few pages, the information given is practically limited to a brief outline of the more important campaigns, and all record of the many years spent in times of peace, in guarding the interests of the empire on its distant frontiers, is of necessity omitted.
