The opening of the book lays out the premise for documenting the distinguished record of the Twelfth Regiment and emphasizes the importance of such records in preserving military history. It explains how the regiment was formed in response to the political climate in England during the late 17th century, particularly due to the Monmouth Rebellion. Cannon introduces readers to the rigorous service and the key roles that members of the regiment played in various military engagements, setting the stage for a comprehensive exploration of their exploits throughout its history. This establishes a foundational context for readers interested in military history and the specific legacy of this regiment within the British Army. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
