Hardback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 1904. First edition limited to 100 copies of which this is copy No. 11. [x], iv, 255pp., a frontispiece showing Stirling Castle and 10 other black and white illustrations. Top edge gilt. The raising of a militia force in Scotland was outlawed by statute before 1794 to prevent powerf…ul landowners putting together private armies, yet the increasing tension in relations with France in the latter years of the 18th century led to the passing of the Militia Act of 1797, which empowered the Lieutenants to raise militia forces. Militiamen were to be selected by ballot, annual training was to be provided and in times of crisis Corps were to be embodied. The counties of Fife, Stirling, Clackmannan and Kinross were united for the purpose of becoming a militia, known as the 5th or Fifeshire Regiment of North British Militia. In 1803, Dumbarton was substituted for Fife to form the Stirling, Dumbarton, Clackmannan and Kinross Militia, later called the 90th Regiment of British Militia. Stirling Militia was disbanded as a standing army at the end of the Napoleonic wars in 1816. The Militia (Scotland) Act of 1854 revived the Militia, giving it a permanent peacetime existence but the use of volunteers rather than recruits reduced the responsibilities of the Lieutenancies. From 1855, the Stirling Militia was known as the Highland Borderers Light Infantry and then, from 1881, as the 3rd Battalion Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. The Stirlingshire Volunteers became volunteer battalions in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, and they were transformed into the Territorial Force with the creation of the Territorial Army in 1908. This volume of Records of the 3rd Battalion also contains a comprehensive Roll of Officers from 1801 to 1903. The book is bound in the original red buckram cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine and gold emblem on the front board. The case of the book is in very good condition with shelf wear and some light soiling to the boards. The spine has faded to a light brown colour and there is also some fading around the edges of the boards. The bottom of the spine is lightly bumped and there is heavier bumping to the top of the spine. The contents are tight and clean and the page at the start of the book containing numbering details has been flat signed by the compiler. The free endpapers are browned and there is a decorative bookplate (of Scottish brewer, James Younger) on the front fixed endpaper. PLEASE NOTE: This is a fairly heavy book and extra postage may apply for delivery outside the UK. Signed by Author(s).
