One of the regimental histories compiled by Richard Cannon at the order of the Horse Guards, this record traces the 87th Regiment, or Royal Irish Fusiliers, from its formation through the wars against Revolutionary and Napoleonic France and its later service overseas. It reprints inspection reports, general orders and accounts of battles, with a separate record of the regiment’s second battalion.
A valuable source for military historians and anyone tracing an ancestor in the regiment. Download the free EPUB.
