Description
Excerpt from Historical Record of the Eighty-Seventh Regiment, or the Royal Irish Fusiliers: Containing an Account of the Formation of the Regiment in 1793, and of Its Subsequent Services to 1853
The character and credit of the British Army must chie?y depend upon the zeal and ardour by which all who enter into its service are animated, and consequently it is of the highest importance that any measure calculated to excite the spirit of emulation, by which alone great and gallant actions are achieved, should be adopted.
Nothing can more fully tend to the accomplish ment of this desirable object than a full display of the noble deeds with which the Military History of our country abounds. To hold forth these bright ex amples to the imitation of the youthful soldier, and thus to incite him to emulate the meritorious conduct of those who have preceded him in their honorable career, are among the motives that have given rise to the present publication.
