Cannon, Richard [Richard Cannon (1779-1865) was a compiler of regimental records for the British Army].

(Book #ID 112192)

Published by Parker, Furnivall and Parker 30 Charing Cross, London First Edition 1851. 1851.

First edition hard back binding in publisher's original scarlet cloth covered boards, blocked and lettered gilt back and front, lemon end papers. 8vo. 9'' x 5½''. The 73rd originally the 2nd Battalion 42nd Foot became a separate unit with a new number in 1786. The Regiment served in Ceylon in 1795, at Seringapatam in 1799, and returned home in 1806. In 1807 it was sent to New South Wales, serving there and in Tasmania until 1814. The 2nd Battalion, raised in 1809, went to Northern Germany in 1813 and was in Northern Holland in 1813-14. It fought at Waterloo in the 3rd Division. The Colours carried by the 73rd at Waterloo have not survived, so it is not possible to be precise about their appearance: not all colours conformed to regulation. Sergeant Morris, in 'Recollections of Military Life', says of the Colours 'while we were formed four deep for the final advance, Major Kelly ordered our Colours, which had been completely riddled, to be taken from the staves, and they were rolled round the body of a trusty sergeant, as we no longer had any officer to carry them. The Colours, despite their condition, were used by the Battalion until it was disbanded at Chelmsford in May 1817. Contains (xxxii), 71 pp with 3 full-page colour chromolithographic plates. Small black silhouette bookplate inside, one tiny nick to the fore edge of the front free end paper and in Very Good bright condition. Housed in Fine condition marble paper covered open-fronted slip case. Member of the P.B.F.A.
