A History Of The Lancashire Fusiliers V1: Formerly Twentieth Regiment 1688-1821 is a detailed account of the formation and early years of the Lancashire Fusiliers, a British infantry regiment that was originally known as the Twentieth Regiment. Written by Benjamin Smyth, a historian and former officer in the regiment, the book covers the period from 1688, when the regiment was first raised, to 1821, when it was renumbered as the 20th (East Devonshire) Regiment of Foot. The book begins by providing an overview of the political and military context in which the regiment was formed, including the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the wars of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. It then traces the regiment's early history, including its involvement in the campaigns of Marlborough and Wellington, as well as its role in the American War of Independence and the Napoleonic Wars.Throughout the book, Smyth provides detailed accounts of the regiment's battles and campaigns, as well as its organization, equipment, and tactics. He also includes biographical sketches of some of the regiment's most notable officers and soldiers, and provides insights into the social and cultural context in which the regiment operated.Overall, A History Of The Lancashire Fusiliers V1: Formerly Twentieth Regiment 1688-1821 is a comprehensive and engaging account of the early years of one of Britain's most distinguished infantry regiments, and will be of interest to military historians, genealogists, and anyone interested in the history of the British Army.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
