"Historical Record of the Fourteenth, or, the Buckinghamshire Regiment of Foot" by Richard Cannon is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work chronicles the formation and military engagements of the Fourteenth Regiment of Foot, starting from its establishment in 1685 up to 1845. The book serves as an in-depth record of the regiment’s distinguished services throughout various conflicts, detailing notable battles and significant moments in the history of British military operations. At the start of the account, the context is set within 1685, highlighting England's stability amid growing tensions related to King James II's reign. The opening focuses on the emergence of the Duke of Monmouth’s rebellion and the subsequent mobilization of troops, including the formation of the Fourteenth Regiment under Sir Edward Hales. The narrative illustrates the regiment's early actions, including its rapid deployment to combat the invaders and its subsequent retention in royal service after the suppression of the rebellion. The first chapter effectively establishes a framework for understanding the regiment's historical significance and sets the stage for further exploration of its military achievements throughout subsequent conflicts in Europe and the East Indies.
