Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A chronological history of the services of this regiment. Originally compiled by Brevet Major Edward William Bray to 1863 and subsequently extended from official records to 1907, this regimental history provides a detailed account of the 83rd (County of Dublin) Regiment of Foot, later the 1st Battalion, Royal Irish Rifles. Beginning with the regiment's formation in 1793, the narrative traces more than a century of service across the British Empire. Early deployments included the West Indies and the Cape of Good Hope, followed by distinguished service during the Peninsular War. The regiment fought at Talavera, Busaco, Fuentes d'Onor, Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajoz, Salamanca, Vittoria, Nivelle, Orthes and Toulouse, establishing an impressive succession of battle honours. The history subsequently follows the regiment through service in Ceylon, Canada and India, where its participation in the Central India campaign added another significant honour. Drawing upon official records, the volume provides an authoritative chronological account of the regiment's development, campaigns and extensive overseas service from 1793 to 1907.
