Each, in its own way, contributed to the development and history of the country and although some of the significant individual aspects of this service have been the subject of research and record, the complete service of any one regiment in the colony has never been recorded in detail. This work is an attempt to redress this shortfall in Australian general and particularly military history. It covers the service of the 48th Regiment of Foot, the Northamptonshire Regiment, which served in New South Wales from 1817 to 1824. The selection of this regiment arose from a personal interest in the Peninsular War where the Northamptons had campaigned under the Duke of Wellington. The 48th was the first of the veteran Peninsular regiments to serve in Australia. It was a fortunate regiment to select for there were better than average sources of information for the period of the regiment's service in the colony, beginning with the personal recollections of a soldier's wife, through the usual War Office records, the holdings of the Mitchell Library, the Archives Office of New South Wales and the Historical Records of Australia. During the regiment's service in New South Wales Commissioner of Inquiry J.T. Bigge collected evidence for his reports into the state of the Colony of New South Wales. Bigge's investigations were wide-ranging and his records of interview proved a valuable source. An effort has been made to cover the service of individual soldiers as well as the officers, as the attitudes and behaviour of the Other Ranks is important. It is hoped to be able to show that the soldiers of the 48th lived up to the dictum of an old soldier of the era who, asked by a youth going into action for the first time what he should do during the battle, replied - 'Do your duty'." -- Contents: Prologue; Bound for Botany Bay; Sydney 1817 - 1820; Van Diemen's Land; Sydney 1821 - 1824; Epilogue; Appendices: 1.
