==== Patrick McNamara and the 19th Foot====
This history has been abstracted principally from the ''A history of the services of the 19th regiment: now Alexandra, Princess of Wales's own (Yorkshire regiment), from its formation in 1688 to 1911'' by M.L. Ferrar (1911). It should be noted that the grammar, especially the punctuation, has not been changed from the original 1911 publication. Details from this history are supplemented by known personal details of Patrick McNamara, one of the soldiers in that Regiment. Invaluable research assistance was provided by the Green Howards Regimental Museum, Trinity Church Square, Richmond, North Yorkshire DL10 4QN, and, in particular, Steve Rarity, the Museum Attendant.
