REGIMENTAL LETTERS INDEX
The following are extracted from Letter Books held at the National Archives, Kew.
They consist of letters written from the Commander in Chief's Department to Regimental Officers,
in this case, only those concerning the 4th Light Dragoons.
They offer an interesting view of the workings of the regimental system at this time,
including the Regiment's posting in Ireland, and the Crimean War.
The letters give an idea of what tasks occupied regimental officers on a day-to-day basis,
throwing additional light on all manner of decisions made by the regiment.
Added to this, there are many issues concerning NCOs and Rank and File,
and there are also details of few scandals and regimental spats.
