REGIMENTAL RECORDS OF THE 3rd BATTALION ROYAL MUNSTER FUSILLERS, FORMERLY SOUTH CORK LIGHT INFANTRY MILITIA. Compiled by G. S. Ormerod. 133 pages. Originally published 1906 at Cork, Ireland.

This informative work covers the entire history of this unit from its formation in 1793 to the years just prior to publication. Sketches of the various military engagements over the years are given, along with copies of correspondence and records relevant to the units history. The names of many members are mentioned, especially officers. A great deal of social, political and economic history is brought out in the narrative; then, as today, economy was a major factor, as in this observation:

1 Nov. 1836--Captain Bagley resigned the adjutancy, which he had held for over 28 years. With a view to further economy, the appointment was not filled up.

An appendix lists all of the officers commissioned between 1793 and 1905, listing their name, rank and date of commission.
