The Life of a Regiment: The History of the Gordon Highlanders from Its Formation in 1794 to 1816 is a comprehensive account of the early years of the Gordon Highlanders, a Scottish regiment that was formed in the late 18th century. Written by Charles Greenhill Gardyne, the book provides a detailed overview of the regiment's formation, its early years, and its role in various conflicts during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.The book begins with an introduction to the Gordon Highlanders and their origins, including their formation in 1794 and their early years of service in Scotland and Ireland. It then goes on to explore the regiment's involvement in various conflicts, including the French Revolutionary Wars, the Napoleonic Wars, and the War of 1812.Throughout the book, Gardyne provides detailed accounts of the battles and campaigns in which the Gordon Highlanders participated, including the Battle of Alexandria, the Siege of Bergen-op-Zoom, and the Battle of New Orleans. He also explores the social and cultural aspects of life in the regiment, including the recruitment and training of soldiers, their daily routines, and their relationships with officers and civilians.The Life of a Regiment is a valuable resource for anyone interested in military history, Scottish history, or the history of the British Army. With its detailed accounts of battles and campaigns, as well as its insights into the daily life of soldiers, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of the Gordon Highlanders during the early years of their existence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
