"Historical Record of the Third, Or the King's Own Regiment of Light Dragoons" by Richard Cannon is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work chronicles the formation, development, and distinguished service of this cavalry regiment from its inception in 1685 to its activities up to 1846. It delves into significant military engagements, detailing the regiment's achievements, valor, and participation across various battles, primarily within the context of the British Army's evolving structure and tactics. The opening of the record provides an introduction to the regiment's establishment amidst the political turmoil of the late 17th century, particularly focusing on its creation to counter the Duke of Monmouth's rebellion. The narrative highlights the initial organization of the regiment, engaging with King James II and offering insights into the early military challenges faced as well as the bravery exhibited by its soldiers. The text hints at a broader examination of the regiment's actions, leadership changes, and contributions to major battles, setting the stage for a comprehensive exploration of its storied history throughout the years.
