"A History of the 17th Lancers (Duke of Cambridge's Own)" by J. W. Fortescue is a story of the 17th Lancers, a British cavalry regiment, starting with its creation in 1759 after important battles like the fall of Quebec. The focus is a recounting of the regiment's development and major military actions throughout history. The challenges of piecing together their history are discussed, due to some sources being scarce, which required relying on varied military documents and writings from the time. Readers are introduced to Colonel John Hale, a key figure in establishing the regiment and a description of the soldiers' uniforms, gear, and training, which emphasizes the regiment's role in British military accomplishments.
