The opening of the account begins with a context-setting general order issued on January 1, 1836, which outlines the intention to document the achievements of British regiments to honor their bravery and inspire future soldiers. Following this introduction, a preface highlights the importance of preserving military history for the motivation of current and future soldiers, detailing how the Thirteenth Regiment was established amidst domestic threats to Great Britain and recounting its early operations, including engagements during the Jacobite risings.
