In compiling this Record of the Eighty-Eighth Regiment, or Connaught Rangers, in conformity to the King’s Command, as conveyed in the General Orders of the Army, great credit is due to Colonel O’Malley, who, with much diligence, has obtained a very circumstantial and correct statement of the services of the regiment; and Colonel O’Malley has acknowledged his obligations for much valuable information which has been furnished to him by the late Captain Robertson, and several other Officers who formerly served in the regiment;—particularly by Lieutenant Grattan, who served with the regiment in the Peninsular Campaigns and in North America, and has evinced the most indefatigable zeal and perseverance in contributing to the completion of this Memoir.
