Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of the Rifle Brigade: The Prince Consort´s Own Formerly the 95th A wish had long been entertained and often expressed by Riflemen, both by those serving in the Regiment and by those who had formerly served in it, that a detailed record of its services should be compiled. It was suggested to me by many of my friends that I should undertake this task. The will certainly was not wanting; but the ability to carry out their wish has not, I fear, been equal to their partial opinion, or to my own desire to do justice to the subject. The materials for such a compilation were not wanting. The late Colonel Leach published a very brief sketch of the Services of the Regiment, and his ´Rough Notes´ give many and accurate particulars of events during the time he served in it. The Autobiography of Quarter-Master Surtees is a most valuable record of the events in which he took part. Surtees came as a private into the 95th from the 56th Regiment in 1802. His good conduct raised him through the various grades of non-commissioned officer to Quarter-Master of the old 3rd Battalion.
