Summary "Historical Record of the Twelfth, or the Prince of Wales's Royal Regiment of Lancers" is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The work chronicles the formation of the regiment in 1715 and provides a detailed account of its subsequent military services up to 1842, highlighting various engagements, battles, and notable figures associated with the regiment. Aimed at both military historians and interested readers, it seeks to commemorate the contributions and valor of the regiment throughout its storied history. The opening of this historical record sets the stage by explaining the rationale behind documenting the services of British regiments, emphasizing the importance of preserving their achievements for future generations. It outlines the establishment of a historical account per royal command, detailing the expected contents, which include origins, battles fought, and honors received. Additionally, it introduces the Twelfth Regiment's formation amidst political strife in 1715, directed by Brigadier-General Phineas Bowles. The early chapters establish a historical trajectory that promises to bridge past and present military endeavors, engaging readers with tales of gallantry and service.
