OF
THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION Raised in 1758, it was already in America when hostilities broke out and was heavily engaged until October, 1782 when the regiment was sent to the West Indies. It saw action during the New York campaign and the fighting at Long Island. In 1777 it was sent on the Philadelphia campaign taking part in the actions at Brandywine and Germantown. It returned to New York and took part in the fighting at Monmouth Court House and throughout that year saw more small actions in New York and New Jersey. It was sent to the 2nd Siege of Charleston in 1779, and then to South where it took part in the action of Eutaw Springs. The regimental facings were black; officers' lace gold. The mens' lace was white with a red and black line through. [SOURCE: R. J. Marrion. Fellow of The Company of Military Historians of America. Uniforms of the American War of Independence.
