Historical Record Of The Twenty First Regiment Or The Royal North British Fusiliers

"Historical Record of the Twenty-first Regiment..." was published under the orders of His late Majesty King William IV of England to give an account of the services of every Regiment in the British Army as at 1836. Among other details of each regiment, it contains the history and period of formation, and the justification thereof, as well as the names of officers and other soldiers killed or wounded in the course of duty, and those bestowed with any Titles, Medals, or other Marks of His Majesty's gracious favour. It offers an excellent history of British military history, looking back at such great names as Admiral Viscount Nelson, General Hon. William Gordon, Major-General James Hamilton, Major-General Hon. Alexander Mackay, John, Viscount Mordaunt, among others.
