Summary "Historical Record of the Sixteenth, or, the Bedfordshire Regiment of Foot" by Richard Cannon is a comprehensive historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book chronicles the formation and evolution of the Sixteenth Regiment, detailing its service from its inception in 1688 through to 1848. It likely encompasses the regiment’s significant battles, leadership changes, and contributions to various military campaigns, providing insights into the lives of the soldiers who served within its ranks. The opening of the work sets the stage by discussing the historical context in which the Sixteenth Regiment was formed, notably during a time of political upheaval in England. Cannon highlights the important role of the regiment during the 1688 Revolution and its early engagements in battles in France and the Netherlands. This introductory section presents a detailed exploration of military organization and the changing dynamics of warfare during the period. It serves to connect the regiment's storied past to the evolution of military practices, hinting at the battles and notable events that the regiment would be involved in over the following decades.
