Summary "Historical Record of the Thirty-sixth, or the Herefordshire Regiment of Foot" by Richard Cannon is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This record details the formation and service history of the Thirty-sixth Regiment, highlighting its notable operations from its inception in the early 18th century to the mid-19th century. The book likely explores military campaigns, battles, and the evolution of the regiment over time, focusing on the valor and achievements of its soldiers." "The opening of the book begins with a transcriber's note indicating the formatting conventions used throughout the text. Following this, there’s a general order detailing the command by the British monarchy for comprehensive accounts of each regiment's service in the military, emphasizing the importance of recording bravery and achievements for historical reference. The preface articulates the rationale for chronicling the regiment's history, which serves to inspire future soldiers by showcasing their predecessors' valor and dedication. The introduction sets the stage for the regiment’s history, referencing significant historical contexts such as the War of the Spanish Succession and the intrinsic military values of British infantry, thereby framing the subsequent detailed accounts of the Thirty-sixth's engagements in various military operations."
