Summary "Historical Record of the Seventh, or the Queen's Own Regiment of Hussars" by Cannon is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This detailed narrative chronicles the origins and subsequent military services of the Seventh Hussars, a distinguished cavalry regiment in the British Army, from its formation in 1690 through various conflicts up to 1842. The text aims to preserve the valor and achievements of the regiment, highlighting the notable engagements and contributions made by its members throughout history. The opening of this historical account introduces the regiment's formation during the tumultuous political landscape following the Revolution of 1688. It outlines the initial establishment of independent troops in Scotland and their participation in early military actions, particularly at the Battle of Killicrankie in 1689. The document emphasizes the challenges faced by these soldiers, the shifts in military structure, and the commendable bravery displayed in various skirmishes against their adversaries. Through this initial setup, readers are drawn into the storied past of a regiment that played a significant role in British military history. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
