Book excerpt: Excerpt from Records of the 90th Regiment, Perthshire Light Infantry: With Roll of Officers From 1795 to 1880 Being desirous that the regiment I have under taken to raise, and which I am to have the honour to command, should bear the name of a county I am so much attached to, I have obtained His Majesty's leave that it should be called 'the Perthshire Volunteers.' W'hile I flatter myself that the corps will prove worthy of so distinguished a name, allow me to hope that it will find in the spirit of the young men of the county, and in the zeal of the recruits, that preference and support which may make up for the want of the extensive influence which patronizes the other corps now recruiting. I need not assure all able-bodied volunteers that they will be received by the commanding-officer, at the head quarters at Perth, with the greatest attention, and will meet with the most liberal treatment.

Download or read book The Victoria Crosses that Saved an Empire written by Brian Best and published by Frontline Books. This book was released on 2016-06-19 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indian Mutiny struck at the very heart of the British Empire. If India was lost the whole edifice of British domination across its colonies was in jeopardy. Everything was at stake, Britains leading role in the word, its international commerce and the reputation of its armed forces. Across the globe Britain ruled only through the compliance of the subordinate nations but if India could throw off the imperialist yolk others might also rebel. The very fate of the Empire hung in the balance.The situation was considered to be so serious that the British authorities extended the warrant of the newly-created Victoria Cross to include anyone, even civil servants, who performed prodigious acts of valour to save India, and save the Empire.A total 182 VCs were awarded during the Mutiny, the same number as in the whole of the Second World War, climaxing in one day at Lucknow when twenty-four men displayed extraordinary valour to raise the siege the most VCs ever won in a single day.This is the story of those few months between May 1857 and June 1858 when the world turned its gaze upon the jewel in Victorias crown and 182 men soldier, sailor and civilian wrote their names into the history books.
Download or read book Anglo Zulu War 1879 written by Harold E. Raugh and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 685 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Anglo-Zulu War was one of many colonial campaigns in which the British Army served as the instrument of British imperialism. The conflict, fought against a native adversary the British initially under-estimated, is remarkable for battles that included perhaps the most humiliating defeat in British military history-the Battle of Isandlwana, January 22, 1879-and one of its most heroic feats of martial arms-the defense of Rorke's Drift, January 22-23, 1879. While lasting only six months, it is one of the most examined, studied, and debated conflicts in Victorian military history. Anglo-Zulu War, 1879: A Selected Bibliography is a research guide and tool for identifying obscure publications and source materials in order to encourage continued original and thought-provoking contributions to this popular field of historical study. From the student or neophyte to the study of the Anglo-Zulu War, its battles, and its opponents to the more experienced historian or scholar, this selected bibliography is a must for anyone interested in the 1879 Anglo-Zulu War.
Download or read book Egypt 1801 written by Stuart Reid and published by Frontline Books. This book was released on 2021-07-07 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first campaign medal awarded to British soldiers is reckoned to be that given to those men who fought at Waterloo in 1815, but a decade and a half earlier a group of regiments were awarded a unique badge – a figure of a Sphinx - to mark their service in Egypt in 1801. It was a fitting distinction, for the successful campaign was a remarkable one, fought far from home by a British army which had so far not distinguished itself in battle against Revolutionary France, and one moreover which had the most profound consequences in the Napoleonic wars to come. In 1798 a quixotic French expedition led by a certain General Bonaparte not only to seize Egypt and consolidate French influence in the Mediterranean, but also to open up a direct route to Indian and provide an opportunity to destroy the East India Company and fatally weaken Great Britain. In the event, General Bonaparte returned to France to mount a coup which would eventually see him installed as Emperor of the French, but behind him he abandoned his army, which remained in control of Egypt, still posing a possible threat to the East India Company, until in 1801 a large but rather heterogeneous British Army led by Sir Ralph Abercrombie landed and in a series of hard-fought battles utterly defeated the French. Not only did this campaign establish the hitherto rather doubtful reputation of the British Army, and help secure India, but its capture en route of the islands of Malta gained Britain a base which would enable it to dominate the Mediterranean for the next century and a half. This little understood, but profoundly important campaign at last receives the treatment it deserves in the hands of renowned historian Stuart Reid.
Download or read book A Peer Among Princes written by Philip Grant and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This authoritative biography chronicles the life and achievements of the Victorian era politician and hero of the Napoleonic Wars. Sir Thomas Graham, Lord Lynedoch, is best known for his exceptional military career during the Napoleonic Wars. In the struggle for the Iberian Peninsula, he won a major victory at the Battle of Barrosa, conducted the siege of San Sebastian, and acted as the Duke of Wellington’s second in command. But Graham was much more than a soldier. An innovative Scottish landowner, politician, sportsman, and traveler, he was a remarkable man of his age. In A Peer Among Princes, Philip Grant does justice to his life and reputation. Lord Lynedoch only took up his military career in 1792 when he was outraged by the violation of his wife’s coffin by French revolutionaries. Determined to fight them, he raised his own regiment and soon establishing himself as an outstanding leader and field commander. He saw action at Toulon, made a daring escape from the siege of Mantua, served in Malta and Egypt and with Sir John Moore during the Corunna campaign. With quotes from Graham’s vivid letters and diaries, Grant weaves an absorbing and detailed narrative of his long and varied life.
