Summary "Historical Record of the Thirteenth, First Somerset, or the Prince Albert's Regiment of Light Infantry" by Richard Cannon is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book provides a comprehensive narrative of the formation and service of a specific British military regiment, detailing its activities from its inception in 1685 through to 1848. The focus is on the regiment's military engagements, highlighting its contributions and notable achievements throughout various conflicts. At the start of the work, the author sets the stage with a transcriber’s note and an introduction outlining the importance of documenting military records. It emphasizes the significance of the British soldiers' bravery and history, establishing a framework for the detailed accounts that follow. The opening includes an official notification from the Horse Guards regarding the creation of a comprehensive military record, aiming to excite the spirit of emulation among current and future soldiers. As such, readers can anticipate an exploration of not only the regiment's combat history but also the broader implications of military service within the British Army, reflecting on bravery, discipline, and the evolution of infantry tactics.
