General Regimental Histories

[jf42]

I was wondering if anyone can think of a general compendium of British Army regimental history- badges, battle honours, nickname, etc., that was published earlier than "Records and Badges of every Regiment and Corps in the British Army" by H.M. Chichester and G. Burges-Short, (c.1895) and J.S. Farmer's "Regimental Records of the British Army." (1901).

Cannon's series of single-volume 'Historical Records' were obviously much earlier and not complete as well as not wholly reliable, but an interesting reference nonetheless.

With Thanks,
