| Summary | "Historical Record of the Eighty-eighth Regiment of Foot, or Connaught Rangers" is a historical account prepared for publication under the direction of the Adjutant-General, likely written in the early 19th century. The work chronicles the formation and military engagements of the Connaught Rangers, detailing their services from their establishment in 1793 through various campaigns up to 1837. This record aims to highlight the bravery of the regiment and the individual soldiers, providing insight into their participation in numerous battles and engagements over the years. At the start of the text, commands and directives from the British military command frame the reasons behind this historical record's creation, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive account of regimental history as a means to honor their valiant actions. The narrative indicates a strong sentiment for documenting the sacrifices and achievements of soldiers, notably emphasizing the regiment's hardships during their campaigns and battles. The opening sets the stage for chronicling the regiment's formation, its early service in the field, including engagements in Flanders, and hints at the dramatic and perilous nature of military life during this turbulent historical epoch.
