Upon Mr. Cannon's retirement, after a lengthened official career of upwards of half a century, the Adjutant-General, in consequence of my having assisted that gentleman in preparing these Records, recommended me to the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury as the future Editor, but it was decided that they should not be continued.

Excerpt: ...and forcibly described the qualities, which are most valuable in a military body. "These," he says, "are not bravery "alone, but patience and hardship, obedience to com"mand, sobriety, firmness and resolution in every dif"ferent situation in which they may be placed. It is tl by the display of such qualities alone, that the army "can expect to deserve the name of soldiers; that they "can be able to withstand the forces opposed to them, "or to fulfil the expectations of their country." From any participation in the excesses which were committed, the 26th or Cameronian Regiment appear to have been singularly free, as one man only was punished; and he, though taken in company with others, was supposed, from being somewhat idiotic, to have been a spectator rather than a sharer in the plunder. On the 31st of December, the Regiment quitted Astorga on its march to Lugo. At this time, Sir John Moore's despatch showed that the hope of disputing the passes of the mountains, which afforded positions of great strength, as expressed in his correspondence with Romana, was finally relinquished; for, besides the de 1808. struction of the ammunition and stores collected there, lst the sick were abandoned, and he stated, "we must all "make forced marches to the coast from the scarcity of "provisions, and to be before the enemy, who by roads "upon our flanks may otherwise intercept us." He added, "I hope to find upon the coast transports for the "embarkation of the troops." Under these discouraging circumstances, the retreat was continued to Lugo. Shortly after the British evacuated Astorga, Napoleon arrived, and was joined by Marshal Soult. The whole French army that...

Book excerpt: In May 1968, as part of cutbacks to the British Army, The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) was disbanded at a moving ceremony held at the same spot in Douglas in Lanarkshire at which it had been raised in 1689. And yet, although the regiment is no more, its place in history is unassailable. The ceremony embraced the history of one regiment, The Cameronians, which had its origins in the turbulent period that accompanied the rise of the House of Orange at the end of the seventeenth century, while its other component part - the 90th (Perthshire Light Infantry) - was raised as a light infantry regiment during the war against Revolutionary France. Following amalgamation in 1881, The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) quickly built up a solid reputation as a fighting regiment. During the First World War it raised 27 battalions and during the Second World War its battalions served in Europe and Burma. In the course of its long history, the regiment provided the British Army with many distinguished soldiers including three field marshals: Viscounts Hill and Wolseley and Sir Evelyn Wood. Always tough and enduring in battle, it reflected the character of its main recruitment area - Glasgow and Lanarkshire - and in later years it took self-conscious pride when the Germans nicknamed its soldiers Giftzwerge, or poison dwarfs. The Cameronians puts its story into the context of British military history and makes use of personal testimony to reveal the life of the regiment.
