I found on Google Play Books a great book by Clifford Walton ‘History of the British Standing Army AD 1660 - 1700’. Published in 1884.
It includes the founding of the regiments.
Campaign Histories including: Tangier, Monmouth’s Rebellion, Ireland, Flanders (great narratives on Stienkirke, Neerwinden and Namur).
Also chapters on uniforms, weapons, the running of regiments, etc.
Cheers
Edward
