Historical Record of the Fourteenth, or, the Buckinghamshire Regiment of Foot

In “Historical Record of the Fourteenth, or, the Buckinghamshire Regiment of Foot,” Richard Cannon meticulously chronicles the illustrious history of the regiment, tracing its origins and significant engagements within the broader context of British military history. With a narrative style that oscillates between the analytical and the anecdotal, Cannon employs rich historical detail and vivid accounts that illuminate the regiment's evolution from its formation through the Napoleonic Wars and into the 19th century. His work serves not only as a military record but also as a reflection of the sociopolitical landscape of the time, providing insight into the lives of those who served alongside their era's prevailing ideologies and conflicts. Cannon, a well-regarded military historian and staff officer, possessed a profound understanding of the British Army's structure and history, which undoubtedly influenced his commitment to producing this comprehensive record. His career included serving as a clerk in military offices, where he gained firsthand insight into the regimental archives and the importance of such documentation. This intimate knowledge provided him with a unique perspective on the significance of preserving the stories of soldiers and regiments, thus shaping his narrative approach. This book is highly recommended for scholars of military history, enthusiasts of British regimental traditions, and general readers interested in the dynamics of warfare and society. Cannon'Äôs work serves as both a tribute to the men who served and a vital source for understanding the evolution of the British Army, making it an indispensable addition to any historical collection.
