PREFACE.
The object of the following pages is to bring under one head the
information that is scattered through Despatches, Army Lists, Gazettes,
Books, Magazines, &c. concerning the History of the different Regiments
of the British Army; and to enable anyone at a glance to ascertain
whether a certain Regiment served during a certain campaign, or was at
a certain action, or what its Title or Uniform was at a certain date.
The histories of many Regiments have been published separately, some
by authority, and a few through, and by, the _esprit de corps_ of
some officer, but this is intended to show every existing Regiment’s
services, &c. in a small space, in a condensed form, and in one volume.
Since the year 1870, much has been seen, and more heard, about
organization and localization, but we have also seen the Regiments
(which were the admiration of soldiers of every country in Europe),
“meddled and muddled” with till they are only a wretched likeness of
what they were.
We have seen _esprit de corps_ sapped to its foundations, and
attempted to be destroyed by the abolition of every Regimental
tradition, badge, and even button, that our civilian Army reformers
could do away with.
Where are the old Regimental officers who were proud to serve the Crown
for _nothing_?
Where are the magnificent old non-commissioned officers and men that
would follow their officers wherever they led?
What is the answer?
The officers, commissioned and non-commissioned, have all but
disappeared, and the ranks are filled by over-educated boys, who
consequently think they are as competent to lead their comrades as
their officers.
Moreover, we now see all ranks looking forward to the time when they
shall be turned out of the Regiment, instead of, as formerly, looking
on it as their home for the best part of their lives.
Then, as another blow to the old constitution of Regiments, and a
reduction of their fighting power, we have the new “Brigade Depôts,”
and “Linked Battalions.”
Do not the pages of the Army List, with this last heading, betray the
fact that the Regiments must have been “linked” together by some one
who was incompetent to do so?
Take the 27th Inniskilling, a Regiment essentially Irish in its
character and composition, “linked” to the 108th Madras Infantry. What
connection the person entrusted with a matter of such vital importance
could see in these two Regiments is quite beyond the imagination of a
soldier, and gives rise to the idea that he must have drawn them out of
a hat. The 27th has a glorious history of two centuries; the 108th was
only raised by the East India Company in 1854, and has no more to do
with Ireland than the Russian Guards.
Look at the 31st Huntingdonshire and the 70th Surrey “linked” together
at Kingston. Is every Huntingdonshire man who wishes to join his county
Regiment to walk all the way to Kingston to enlist? and when he does
so, be uncertain whether he is to wear the Huntingdon buff or the
Surrey black?
Had only the depôt of the 35th Royal Sussex been localized at
Chichester to obtain recruits for that regiment, it would have been
perfect; as it is, the “Brigade Depôt” at that city is partly formed of
two nominal companies of the 107th Bengal Infantry, which Regiment of
course never had the slightest connection with the county of Sussex.
The two depôts, or four nominal companies, form the “43rd Brigade
Depôt.” It surely might have been numbered the “35th Brigade Depôt,”
and so have kept up a semblance of the old county number.
It follows, therefore, that a man of Sussex wishing to enlist in his
county Regiment, first has to go into the “43rd Brigade Depôt,” and
then may find himself in the 107th Bengal Infantry, which Regiment he
never intended to serve in at all!
But the above examples of ill-matched couples will suffice.
Is it wonderful that soldiers with the least gleam of _esprit de
corps_ desert?
The fact is, that the glorious old Regiments of the British Army are
in process of being improved off the face of the martial world, and if
the system of “Brigade Depôts” is persevered in, the Regiment must
eventually disappear.
Let anyone read the “General Order” of the 17th March 1873. It says--
“The single Battalion Regiments, which are linked together to form the
Line portion of a sub-district Brigade, will, so far as regards the
Sub-Lieutenants thereto appointed, and the soldiers therein enlisted,
after the date of this order, _constitute one corps_ for all
military purposes.
“All first appointments to the Line, and all enlistments for Line
service, will be for the particular Brigade, _instead of as
heretofore, for particular Regiments_.”
“The officers and soldiers who may be so appointed to any Brigade,
will, for relief, for all duties at home and abroad, and for every
military purpose whatsoever, _and in whatever ranks they may
thereafter respectively hold, be interchangeable between the Line
Battalions of their Brigade, and will be liable to serve in either
of those Battalions indifferently, without regard to the particular
Battalion to which they may have been first appointed to serve_.”
There rang the death-knell of the old Regiments of the British Army!
Can anything be more conclusive, or more depressing to a soldier?
Is it calculated to foster that pride in, and love for, his own
particular Regiment that every true soldier who has worn its uniform
has for it?
Look again at the “Army Circular” of the 8th April 1876, as to the
clothing of the men of the “Brigade Depôts;” it is evident that a man
belongs neither to one “linked” Battalion or to the other; he belongs
to the “Brigade Depôt” only, and has nothing to do with the traditions
or honour of the Regiment in which he may be serving.
Would-be Army reformers, of whom we have now far too many, say, “Oh,
very few Regiments now have the Title of the county in which they were
raised, so all this is of no importance;” but they are not soldiers,
so their opinion is valueless. Moreover, the assertion is only partly
true, for it is nearly a century since most of the Regiments received
the County Titles which they now bear.
Would-be Army reformers are also responsible for the Appendix to “Army
Circular” of the 1st of December 1877, giving the War Establishment
of a Battalion of Infantry, in which it is actually proposed to
send a Regiment of boys eleven hundred strong into the field with
twenty-three Company officers, whilst four officers of the Regiment are
part of, and nearly useless at, the “Brigade Depôt.”
We hear and we read everywhere that the Army is over-officered, but
what is the opinion of an old soldier, as given in his lecture at the
Royal United Service Institution on the 30th November 1877? He says:
“How can you expect fire-discipline, from year-old peasant-soldiers,
whose non-commissioned officers have little, if any, greater training
than themselves, and with a field average of three and a half officers
per company of two hundred men? For better or for worse, we have now an
army of boys. Take the word of a man who has seen much fighting, both
by trained and untrained soldiers. It behoves us, if we would escape
disaster in the hour of trial, to take such means as will induce our
non-commissioned officers to remain under the colours, and not go forth
into civil, or quasi-civil life. And yet more incumbent is it on us to
listen to no arguments of theory that would reduce the number of our
commissioned officers. Our Army is so small that, more than any other,
for the sake of judicious daring, and of judicious economy of life, it
must be well, brilliantly, and carefully led. And this cannot be when
sparse officers are whelmed in a confused mass of men.”
What do the advocates of short service and “Brigade Depôts” say to this?
From the foregoing remarks it will readily be perceived that the
desire of the Compiler of this book is not to destroy, but to revive,
_everything_ connected with every Regiment in the service, and,
although omissions may be noted, it is hoped it contains no errors.
There are many conflicting statements as to when Regiments were first
numbered. Their _rank_ was first regulated by a board of General
Officers assembled by King William the Third in the Netherlands, on the
10th June 1694.
Queen Anne assembled another board in 1713, to decide on the rank
of Regiments raised subsequently to 1694, and King George the First
assembled a third in 1715 for the same purpose.
Cannon, in his “History of the Marine Corps,” tells us, “These boards
recommended that English Regiments raised in England should take rank
from the date of their formation, and that English, Scots, and Irish
Regiments raised for the service of a foreign power, should take rank
from the date of their being placed on the English Establishment.”
“The numerical Titles of Regiments, as fixed on the principles laid
down in the Reports of the boards of General Officers above alluded
to, were confirmed by the Warrant issued by authority of King George
the Second, dated the 17th July 1761; and also by the Warrant of King
George the Third, dated 19th December 1768; previously to which,
Regiments were generally designated by the names of their Colonels.”
The year 1751 has, therefore, been taken as the date on which the
Regiments of the Army were first recognized officially by a number.
The date of the raising of the different Regiments is given as that
of the commission of its first Colonel, taken from the official
“Succession of Colonels.”
The greatest difficulty has been the compiling of the lists of
Campaigns, &c. in which the various Regiments have borne a part.
All those that appear on the Colours have been given, although many are
of inferior importance to many that do not; moreover many Regiments
have received distinctions for actions in which others shared who do
not possess any record of the fact upon their Colours.
The dates given are those in Haydn’s “Dictionary of Dates,” which is
assumed to be correct, and, in the case of a capture of a place, the
_last_ day of the siege or capture is given.
The thanks of the Compiler are due to those Adjutants and other
officers of Regiments who have given him information, and also to T. D.
Sullivan, Esq., late 56th Foot, Librarian of the Royal United Service
Institution, for his assistance and help on many occasions.

The Regiment was raised in Holland by King Charles II., and was at
first composed of eighty gentlemen who had held commissions in the army
of King Charles I.
It wore cuirasses from its formation to 1698, and resumed them in 1821.
It bears the Royal Arms as its crest.
It is said the Regiments of Life Guards were at one time known as “the
Cheeses,” from the old gentlemen of the Life Guards declining to serve
in them as remodelled in 1788, saying they were no longer composed of
gentlemen, but of cheesemongers.
The 3rd and 4th (Scots) Troops of Life Guards, disbanded in 1746, saw
much service in the campaign of 1742–47, in Flanders.

The first Second Troop of Life Guards consisted originally of a number
of loyal gentlemen who had fought for King Charles I. After his murder
they fled to the continent, and entered the Spanish service with the
title of “His Royal Highness The Duke of York’s Troop of Guards.” After

The Regiment was raised in England to garrison Tanjier, part of the
dowry of Catherine of Braganza, wife of King Charles II.; but it
was partly formed at Tanjier from the Duke of Gloucester’s, Earl of
Bristol’s, Lord Newborough’s, and Colonel Green’s Regiments in the
Spanish service.
It received on its formation the Badge of the “Paschal Lamb,” the
crest of the House of Braganza, and Sea-green facings, that being the
favourite colour of Queen Catherine.
It bears the Royal Cypher within the Garter, and Crown over it; and the
“Paschal Lamb” with the mottoes “_Pristinæ virtutis memor_” and
“_Vel exuviæ triumphant_”; also “the Sphinx” for Egypt, 1801.
It received its title and first motto in 1703 for its gallant conduct
at Tongres, 1703.
It is said to have been called “the Governor’s Regiment” at its
formation.
It was nicknamed “Kirke’s Lambs,” from its Badge and Colonel from 1682
to 1691; also “the Sleepy Queen’s,” from its carelessness at Almeida in
allowing General Brennier to escape.
