Records of the Ayrshire militia, from 1802 to 1883

ebook
This slim volume, privately printed in 1884, was based on hand-written records in a note-book kept in Ayr Barracks. It consists of a year-by-year account of the activities of the Ayrshire Militia from the time of its formation in 1802, along with tables showing the regimental strength at different periods, and some lists of officers. In particular it chronicles the regiment’s Napoleonic War service in Scotland, England and Ireland from 1803 until 1816, using contemporary journal entries. The 'H. H. D.' who edited the manuscript records and had them privately printed in 1884 was the Honourable Hew Hamilton-Dalrymple (1857-1945, knighted 1932), third son of the 10th Earl of Stair. He was at the time a captain in the 4th Battalion, Royal Scots Fusiliers, which a few years later became the 3rd (Militia) Battalion, Royal Scots Fusiliers.
