Summary "Memoirs and Services of the Eighty-third Regiment, County of Dublin, from 1793 to 1907" is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the 83rd (County of Dublin) Regiment's history, detailing its formation, campaigns, and notable engagements throughout various significant battles and military actions across the globe, including the West Indies, Africa, and India. The opening of this memoir introduces the regiment's inception in 1793 under Major William Fitch. It outlines the regiment's early days in Dublin, where it conducted garrison duties and prepared for deployment. The text describes the regiment's voyage to the West Indies and subsequent involvement in combat during the Maroon insurrection.
