520 _a"Historical Record of the Fifty-sixth, or the West Essex Regiment of Foot" by Richard Cannon is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book chronicles the formation and subsequent military services of the Fifty-sixth Regiment of Foot, detailing its engagements from its inception in 1755 to the mid-19th century. The focus lies on the regiment's notable battles, achievements, and the valor of its soldiers, making it a compelling read for those interested in military history and the evolution of British regiments. The opening of this record establishes the context for the regiment's formation during a period of geopolitical tension, particularly due to foreign claims in North America that signaled impending conflict. It outlines the initial order for the regiment's creation, led by Lord Charles Manners, as well as the early military actions they undertook, such as their involvement in the siege of the Moro fort during the attack on the Havannah in 1762. By highlighting these actions, the beginning portion not only provides historical context but also sets the tone for a focus on bravery and military tradition that will characterize the regiment's services throughout the years.
