| Summary | "Historical Record of the Fifteenth, or, the Yorkshire East Riding, Regiment of Foot" by Richard Cannon is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book chronicles the formation and military service of the Fifteenth Regiment from its inception in 1685 through its activities until 1848. It delves into the regiment’s involvement in various battles and campaigns, illustrating its contributions to British military history. The opening of the text sets the stage for a detailed narrative of the regiment's history, detailing the circumstances surrounding its formation under King James II in response to a rebellion led by James Duke of Monmouth. It introduces key figures involved in its early establishment, such as Colonel Sir William Clifton, and outlines the regiment's initial movements after its creation. The narrative hints at the regiment's subsequent engagements, including a review by the king and operations throughout Great Britain, establishing a foundation for a more extensive account of its military exploits in the pages to come.
