Historical Record of the Tenth, or the North Lincolnshire, Regiment of Foot

An exhaustive Victorian-era record of the Tenth (North Lincolnshire) Regiment of Foot, chronicling over 160 years of continuous military service from the reign of James II through the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars. Richard Cannon, writing in the mid-19th century as part of the British Army's official historical series, documents the regiment's campaigns across Europe, the Caribbean, North America, and the Indian subcontinent - preserving battle rosters, officer lineages, and campaign chronologies with bureaucratic precision. The text captures both the grand narrative of British imperial expansion and the granular details of military life: marches, skirmishes, garrison duties, the slow evolution of tactics and equipment. For modern researchers, Cannon's work serves as both primary source and case study in Victorian historiography - a formal, proudly patriotic document that reveals how military institutions choose to remember themselves. Military historians, genealogists, and scholars of imperial Britain will find here an indispensable archive.
