Description
Excerpt from Records of the 90th Regiment, Perthshire Light Infantry: With Roll of Officers From 1795 to 1880
Being desirous that the regiment I have under taken to raise, and which I am to have the honour to command, should bear the name of a county I am so much attached to, I have obtained His Majesty''s leave that it should be called ''the Perthshire Volunteers.'' W''hile I ?atter myself that the corps will prove worthy of so distinguished a name, allow me to hope that it will find in the spirit of the young men of the county, and in the zeal of the recruits, that preference and support which may make up for the want of the extensive in?uence which patronizes the other corps now recruiting. I need not assure all able-bodied volunteers that they will be received by the commanding-officer, at the head quarters at Perth, with the greatest attention, and will meet with the most liberal treatment.
