Richard Cannon

Richard Cannon's 'Historical Record of the Second, or Queen's Royal Regiment of Foot' is a meticulous account that chronicles the rich heritage and valiant service of one of the British Army's most distinguished regiments. Written in a formal and precise style, the work reflects the 19th-century historiographical tradition, characterized by an emphasis on factual accuracy and a narrative style that often romanticizes military service. Cannon details the regiment's formation in the 16th century, tracing its engagements in pivotal conflicts, and presenting an array of characters'Äîfrom esteemed commanders to ordinary soldiers'Äîwhose bravery contributed to the regiment's lasting legacy. Cannon himself was a noted military historian and served as an officer in the royal military. His extensive knowledge of the British military apparatus and his dedication to the documentation of regimental histories informed his approach, ensuring that this account was not merely a series of battles, but a nuanced portrayal of the human experience within warfare. His work was driven by a desire to preserve the memory of those who served, reflecting a broader 19th-century interest in national identity and heritage. This book is highly recommended for scholars, military historians, and enthusiasts of British military history. Cannon's narrative serves not only as an essential resource for understanding the Second Regiment but as a tribute to the soldiers' sacrifices and contributions, making it a vital addition to any historical library.
