"The Regiments of the British Army, Chronologically Arranged" by Richard Trimen is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work compiles information regarding the various regiments of the British Army, detailing their histories, campaigns, and changes in title and uniform over time. It serves as a reference guide that aims to present a coherent overview of the regiments' participation in key military actions, offering insights into their traditions and the shifts in structure brought about by military reforms. At the start of the book, Trimen sets forth his intention to consolidate disparate information about the British Army's regiments into a single volume. He addresses the changes and challenges faced by these regiments since reforms initiated in the 1870s. Through his preface, he expresses concern over the dilution of "esprit de corps" due to organizational changes and the eventual decline of regiment identity, emphasizing the significance of maintaining tradition in the military context. The opening portion also mentions the historical context of regiment numbering and the sources of the information compiled, while foreshadowing the detailed accounts of actions and campaigns that will follow in the main body of the book.
