The object of the following pages is to bring under one head the information that is scattered through Despatches, Army Lists, Gazettes, Books, Magazines, &c. concerning the History of the different Regiments of the British Army; and to enable anyone at a glance to ascertain whether a certain Regiment served during a certain campaign, or was at a certain action, or what its Title or Uniform was at a certain date.
The histories of many Regiments have been published separately, some by authority, and a few through, and by, the esprit de corps of some officer, but this is intended to show every existing Regiment’s services, &c. in a small space, in a condensed form, and in one volume.
Since the year 1870, much has been seen, and more heard, about organization and localization,[iv] but we have also seen the Regiments (which were the admiration of soldiers of every country in Europe), “meddled and muddled” with till they are only a wretched likeness of what they were.
We have seen esprit de corps sapped to its foundations, and attempted to be destroyed by the abolition of every Regimental tradition, badge, and even button, that our civilian Army reformers could do away with.
Where are the old Regimental officers who were proud to serve the Crown for nothing?
Where are the magnificent old non-commissioned officers and men that would follow their officers wherever they led?
What is the answer?
The officers, commissioned and non-commissioned, have all but disappeared, and the ranks are filled by over-educated boys, who consequently think they are as competent to lead their comrades as their officers.
Moreover, we now see all ranks looking forward to the time when they shall be turned out of the Regiment, instead of, as formerly, looking on it as their home for the best part of their lives.
Then, as another blow to the old constitution of[v] Regiments, and a reduction of their fighting power, we have the new “Brigade Depôts,” and “Linked Battalions.”
Do not the pages of the Army List, with this last heading, betray the fact that the Regiments must have been “linked” together by some one who was incompetent to do so?
Take the 27th Inniskilling, a Regiment essentially Irish in its character and composition, “linked” to the 108th Madras Infantry. What connection the person entrusted with a matter of such vital importance could see in these two Regiments is quite beyond the imagination of a soldier, and gives rise to the id=ea that he must have drawn them out of a hat. The 27th has a glorious history of two centuries; the 108th was only raised by the East India Company in 1854, and has no more to do with Ireland than the Russian Guards.
Look at the 31st Huntingdonshire and the 70th Surrey “linked” together at Kingston. Is every Huntingdonshire man who wishes to join his county Regiment to walk all the way to Kingston to enlist? and when he does so, be uncertain whether he is to wear the Huntingdon buff or the Surrey black?
[vi]
Had only the depôt of the 35th Royal Sussex been localized at Chichester to obtain recruits for that regiment, it would have been perfect; as it is, the “Brigade Depôt” at that city is partly formed of two nominal companies of the 107th Bengal Infantry, which Regiment of course never had the slightest connection with the county of Sussex.
The two depôts, or four nominal companies, form the “43rd Brigade Depôt.” It surely might have been numbered the “35th Brigade Depôt,” and so have kept up a semblance of the old county number.
It follows, therefore, that a man of Sussex wishing to enlist in his county Regiment, first has to go into the “43rd Brigade Depôt,” and then may find himself in the 107th Bengal Infantry, which Regiment he never intended to serve in at all!
But the above examples of ill-matched couples will suffice.
Is it wonderful that soldiers with the least gleam of esprit de corps desert?
The fact is, that the glorious old Regiments of the British Army are in process of being improved off the face of the martial world, and if the system[vii] of “Brigade Depôts” is persevered in, the Regiment must eventually disappear.
Let anyone read the “General Order” of the 17th March 1873. It says—
“The single Battalion Regiments, which are linked together to form the Line portion of a sub-district Brigade, will, so far as regards the Sub-Lieutenants thereto appointed, and the soldiers therein enlisted, after the date of this order, constitute one corps for all military purposes.
“All first appointments to the Line, and all enlistments for Line service, will be for the particular Brigade, instead of as heretofore, for particular Regiments.”
“The officers and soldiers who may be so appointed to any Brigade, will, for relief, for all duties at home and abroad, and for every military purpose whatsoever, and in whatever ranks they may thereafter respectively hold, be interchangeable between the Line Battalions of their Brigade, and will be liable to serve in either of those Battalions indifferently, without regard to the particular Battalion to which they may have been first appointed to serve.”
There rang the death-knell of the old Regiments of the British Army!
[viii]
Can anything be more conclusive, or more depressing to a soldier?
Is it calculated to foster that prid=e in, and love for, his own particular Regiment that every true soldier who has worn its uniform has for it?
Look again at the “Army Circular” of the 8th April 1876, as to the clothing of the men of the “Brigade Depôts;” it is evid=ent that a man belongs neither to one “linked” Battalion or to the other; he belongs to the “Brigade Depôt” only, and has nothing to do with the traditions or honour of the Regiment in which he may be serving.
Would-be Army reformers, of whom we have now far too many, say, “Oh, very few Regiments now have the Title of the county in which they were raised, so all this is of no importance;” but they are not soldiers, so their opinion is valueless. Moreover, the assertion is only partly true, for it is nearly a century since most of the Regiments received the County Titles which they now bear.
Would-be Army reformers are also responsible for the Appendix to “Army Circular” of the 1st of December 1877, giving the War Establishment of a Battalion of Infantry, in which it is actually proposed to send a Regiment of boys[ix] eleven hundred strong into the field with twenty-three Company officers, whilst four officers of the Regiment are part of, and nearly useless at, the “Brigade Depôt.”
We hear and we read everywhere that the Army is over-officered, but what is the opinion of an old soldier, as given in his lecture at the Royal United Service Institution on the 30th November 1877? He says:
“How can you expect fire-discipline, from year-old peasant-soldiers, whose non-commissioned officers have little, if any, greater training than themselves, and with a field average of three and a half officers per company of two hundred men? For better or for worse, we have now an army of boys. Take the word of a man who has seen much fighting, both by trained and untrained soldiers. It behoves us, if we would escape disaster in the hour of trial, to take such means as will induce our non-commissioned officers to remain under the colours, and not go forth into civil, or quasi-civil life. And yet more incumbent is it on us to listen to no arguments of theory that would reduce the number of our commissioned officers. Our Army is so small that, more than any other, for the sake of judicious daring,[x] and of judicious economy of life, it must be well, brilliantly, and carefully led. And this cannot be when sparse officers are whelmed in a confused mass of men.”
What do the advocates of short service and “Brigade Depôts” say to this?
From the foregoing remarks it will readily be perceived that the desire of the Compiler of this book is not to destroy, but to revive, everything connected with every Regiment in the service, and, although omissions may be noted, it is hoped it contains no errors.
There are many conflicting statements as to when Regiments were first numbered. Their rank was first regulated by a board of General Officers assembled by King William the Third in the Netherlands, on the 10th June 1694.
Queen Anne assembled another board in 1713, to decid=e on the rank of Regiments raised subsequently to 1694, and King George the First assembled a third in 1715 for the same purpose.
Cannon, in his “History of the Marine Corps,” tells us, “These boards recommended that English Regiments raised in England should take rank from the date of their formation, and that[xi] English, Scots, and Irish Regiments raised for the service of a foreign power, should take rank from the date of their being placed on the English Establishment.”
“The numerical Titles of Regiments, as fixed on the principles laid= down in the Reports of the boards of General Officers above alluded to, were confirmed by the Warrant issued by authority of King George the Second, dated the 17th July 1761; and also by the Warrant of King George the Third, dated 19th December 1768; previously to which, Regiments were generally designated by the names of their Colonels.”
The year 1751 has, therefore, been taken as the date on which the Regiments of the Army were first recognized officially by a number.
The date of the raising of the different Regiments is given as that of the commission of its first Colonel, taken from the official “Succession of Colonels.”
The greatest difficulty has been the compiling of the lists of Campaigns, &c. in which the various Regiments have borne a part.
All those that appear on the Colours have been given, although many are of inferior importance to many that do not; moreover many Regiments[xii] have received distinctions for actions in which others shared who do not possess any record of the fact upon their Colours.
The dates given are those in Haydn’s “Dictionary of Dates,” which is assumed to be correct, and, in the case of a capture of a place, the last day of the siege or capture is given.
The thanks of the Compiler are due to those Adjutants and other officers of Regiments who have given him information, and also to T. D. Sullivan, Esq., late 56th Foot, Librarian of the Royal United Service Institution, for his assistance and help on many occasions.

It wore cuirasses from its formation to 1698, and resumed them in 1821.
It bears the Royal Arms as its crest.
It is said= the Regiments of Life Guards were at one time known as “the Cheeses,” from the old gentlemen of the Life Guards declining to serve in them as remodelled in 1788, saying they were no longer composed of gentlemen, but of cheesemongers.
The 3rd and 4th (Scots) Troops of Life Guards, disbanded in 1746, saw much service in the campaign of 1742–47, in Flanders.

The first Second Troop of Life Guards consisted originally of a number of loyal gentlemen who had fought for King Charles I. After his murder they fled to the continent, and entered the Spanish service with the title of “His Royal Highness The Duke of York’s Troop of Guards.” After the peace of 1659 they retired to the Netherlands till 1660, when King Charles II. made them the Second Troop of Life Guards. It became the Third Troop in 1670, and was disbanded in 1746.

It wore cuirasses from its formation to 1698, and resumed them in 1821.
It bears the Royal Arms as its crest.
It obtained the name of “Oxford Blues” about 1690 to distinguish it from a Dutch Regiment of Horse Guards dressed in Blue commanded by the Earl of Portland, this Regiment being commanded by the Earl of Oxford. It was also known as the “Blue Guards” during the campaign in Flanders 1742–45, and is now commonly called “The Blues.”
It was presented by King William IV. with a Standard emblazoned with “Dettingen, Minden, Warbourg, Cateau.”

A CHRONOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL
CHART OF INDIA,
Price, fully tinted, mounted on roller or in case, 20s. size, about 40 in. by 50 in.
Showing, at one view, all the principal nations, governments, and empires which have existed in that country from the earliest times to the suppression of the Great Mutiny, A.D. 1858, with the date of each historical event according to the various eras used in India.
BY
ARTHUR ALLEN DURTNALL,
Of the High Court of Justice in England.
By this Chart, any person, however ignorant of the subject, may, by an hour’s attention, obtain a clear view of the broad lines of Indian History, and of the evolutions which have resulted in the dominion of Her Majesty as EMPRESS OF INDIA. It will be found invaluable for Educational Purposes, especially in Colleges and Schools, where an Indian career is in contemplation. It will also be found of PERMANENT UTILITY in all Libraries and Offices as a work of ready reference for the connection of events and dates. Besid=es the History of India, it includes the contemporaneous histories of Afghanistan, Central Asia, and Europe.
A RELIEVO MAP OF INDIA.
BY
HENRY F. BRION.
In Frame, 21s.
A map of this kind brings before us such a picture of the surface of a given country as no ordinary map could ever do. To the mind’s eye of the average Englishman, India consists of ‘the plains’ and ‘the hills,’ chiefly of the former, the hills being limited to the Himalayas and the Nilgiris. The new map will at least enable him to correct his notions of Indian geography. It combines the usual features of a good plain map of the country on a scale of 150 miles to the inch, with a faithful representation of all the uneven surfaces, modelled on a scale thirty-two times the horizontal one; thus bringing out into clear relief the comparative heights and outlines of all the hill-ranges, and showing broad tracts of uneven ground, of intermingled hill and valley, which a common map of the same size would hardly indicate, except to a very practised eye. The plains of Upper India are reduced to their true proportions; the Central Provinces, Malwa, and Western Bengal reveal their actual ruggedness at a glance; and Southern India, from the Vindhyas to Cape Comorin, proclaims its real height above the sea-level. To the historical as well as the geographical student such a map is an obvious and important aid= in tracing the course of past campaigns, in realising the conditions under which successive races carried their arms or settlements through the Peninsula, and in comprehending the difference of race, climate, and physical surroundings which make up our Indian Empire. Set in a neat frame of maplewood, the map seems to attract the eye like a prettily-coloured picture, and its price, a guinea, should place it within the reach of all who care to combine the useful with the ornamental.“—Home News.
