"The opening of the book begins with a transcriber's note indicating the formatting conventions used throughout the text. Following this, there’s a general order detailing the command by the British monarchy for comprehensive accounts of each regiment's service in the military, emphasizing the importance of recording bravery and achievements for historical reference. The preface articulates the rationale for chronicling the regiment's history, which serves to inspire future soldiers by showcasing their predecessors' valor and dedication.
