About this ebook
Richly illustrated throughout with maps and plans.
“A WISH had long been entertained and often expressed by Riflemen, both by those serving in the Regiment and by those who had formerly served in it, that a detailed record of its services should be compiled...
“To some readers some of the facts and anecdotes I have here recorded may appear trifling and unworthy of mention. But it must be borne in mind that I write for Riflemen, at the desire of Riflemen, and to preserve the memory of the deeds of Riflemen. By them I am sure nothing will be considered trivial, nothing out of place in a history of the Regiment, which records the valour, the acts, the sufferings or even preserves an anecdote of any (of whatever rank) of the members of that brotherhood.”-The Author
Sir William Henry Cope
Sir William Henry Cope of Hanwell, 12th Baronet (February 27, 1811 - January 7, 1892) was a minor canon of St. Peter’s, Westminster from 1842-1853 and a former officer of the rifle brigade. He served as 12th Baronet and inherited the family estates and land title deeds on the death of the 11th Baronet, Sir John Cope, in 1851. Born the son of Lieut.-Gen. Edmund Reilly Cope (1765-1835) and Maria Furber (died 1849), Sir William Cope’s first wife was his cousin Marianne Garnett, who passed away in 1862.
