| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "The History of the First West India Regiment" by A.B. Ellis is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work details the formation, operations, and significance of the First West India Regiment, a military group composed predominantly of African soldiers, within the context of British colonial military efforts. The narrative encompasses various military engagements, highlighting the bravery and effectiveness of its troops in campaigns throughout the Americas and the Caribbean. The opening of the book introduces the author’s gratitude towards several figures who contributed to his research, setting a tone of appreciation for collaborative historical documentation. The introductory chapter outlines the pressing military needs of the British Empire, particularly emphasizing the requirement for a locally sourced army in the West Indies, as colonial garrisons were deemed inadequate for protection against threats. Ellis begins to explore the regiment's historical context by discussing the challenges faced by British commanders, the advantages of recruiting from local populations, and the complex identities of the African soldiers who served in this regiment. Subsequently, he illustrates the regiment's formation against the backdrop of significant military engagements during the American Revolutionary War and beyond.
