It documents battles, sieges, expeditions, colonial postings, casualties and honours, lists successive colonels, descriptions of uniforms and colours, and reproduces official orders and plates. Arranged year by year, the account records deployments across Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia, administrative developments, and the regiment's ceremonial details, concluding with concluding notes and editorial corrections.
