Excerpt from The Records of the Queen's Own Royal Regiment of Staffordshire YeomanryThe services of the queen's own royal regiment or yeomanry have been so often called for, and never having failed to meet with due acknowledgment from the Government, and the County having given such substantial proofs of its appreciation of their services, I venture to h0pe that their perpetuation in the follow ing pages will afford gratification and honest pride to all ranks in the Corps.These Records have no literary pretensions, as their numerous faults will testify. For the most part they are nothing more than a sketch of the events with which the Regiment has been connected. Uniformity in style has not been attempted, the various accounts having been copied, with but little alteration, from the newspapers of the day, and other sources of informa tion. Without these it would have been impossible to have given more than the barest outline of the services of the Regiment. During the first thirty years after the Regiment was raised, it is feared that there may have been some duties performed which have escaped all notice, in consequence of the Orderly books for that period not being now forthcoming, which loss is the more to be regretted owing to the great care which Cap tain Mayne bestowed upon all the Regimental records.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
