| Summary | "Historical Record of the Eighteenth, or the Royal Irish Regiment of Foot" by Richard Cannon is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book chronicles the history and military accomplishments of the Royal Irish Regiment from its formation in 1684 through to 1848. It provides insights into the regiment's involvement in various battles, its structural evolution, and the figures that have shaped its legacy. The opening of the text introduces the regiment's origins during the late 17th century and outlines significant historical events, such as its establishment under King Charles II and subsequent campaigns throughout the wars that Britain was engaged in, including actions in Ireland and Flanders. The author sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the regiment's service, highlighting the importance of updating and maintaining comprehensive records of military achievements as a means of honoring those who served and inspiring future soldiers. This historical account emphasizes not only the tactical endeavors undertaken by the regiment but also the broader context of British military history during a transformative period.
