LIEUT.-COL. SIR JOHN M. BURGOYNE, ᏴᎪᎡᎢ . KARY LONDON: W. H. ALLEN & CO., 13 WATERLOO PLACE. S.W. PUBLISHERS TO THE INDIA OFFICE. 1884. (All rights reserved.) PREFACE. To the THIRD BATTALION, THE BEDFORDSHIRE REGIMENT. IN 1882, certain old Books, Papers, &c., were left to me by the late Colonel Sir Richard Gilpin, Bart., with a request that I would look through them, and place in order those referring to the Bedfordshire Militia. I have gone further, and as far as I have been able, have sketched out the early history of the Regiment. I shall be amply repaid many weeks' work, if these "Records" meet with the approbation of my Brother Officers, past and present, and of the Battalion. Feb. 1884. J. MONTAGU BURGOYNE, Lieut.-Col. Comm. 3rd Batt. Bedf. Regt. |
