Excerpt from The Story of the Duke of Cambridge's Own (Middlesex Regiment) In the footnotes I have given the authorities only where some precise reference seemed to be required. A more general statement of the chief authorities used may be given here. Down to 1803 I have followed in the main Mr. Fortescue's History of the British Army. For the Peninsular War down to the end of 1812 Pro fessor Oman's History, and after that date Napier's have been used. The account of the Crimean War is, of course, derived chiefly from Kinglake's great work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
