Higginson / Williams A53b. From the author's preface: "PROCEED, SERGEANT LAMB is the sequel and conclusion to my SERGEANT LAMB'S AMERICA. Lamb's own rather disjointed JOURNAL and MEMOIR, published in Dublin in 1809 and 1811, provide the bones of the story: the body has been built up from a mass of contemporary records, British, American, French and German. No incident of any historical importance has been invented or distorted. There has been too much rather than too little, material to draw upon: for a start, no less than three officers of Lamb's regiment, The Twenty-Third or Royal Welch Fusiliers, kept journals of the American War - Captains Julian and de Saumarez, and Colonel Mackenzie.
