Neill's 'Blue Caps' VOL 1 1639-1826

The detailed historical account chronicles the evolution and service of a distinguished regiment associated with the East India Company, covering its various names and identities from 1746 to 1881. Colonel Wylly's comprehensive three-volume work is both informative and engaging, with the first two volumes focusing on the regiment's activities and contributions during this critical period. This compilation not only highlights military engagements but also reflects the broader historical context of colonial India and the regimental changes leading to the formation of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers.
