92nd Regiment of Foot - Gordon Highlanders [NA]

[Gordon Regiment]

	Theatrical Music:

Regimental History In 1794 Britain had just entered the French Revolutionary Wars and needed new regiments. One of those raised that year was recruited in Aberdeenshire in north-east Scotland by Alexander Gordon, 4th Duke of Gordon, a major Scottish nobleman. On his recruiting tours Gordon was accompanied by his wife Jane dressed in military uniform. Regimental legend states that she offered a kiss to every recruit while holding their ‘King’s shilling’ (initial pay) between her lips. The regiment's initial postings were garrison ones to Gibraltar and Corsica. Four years after its formation it rose from 100th to 92nd in the order of precedence and in 1799 it saw its first action in the Netherlands. In 1800 it was sent to support an attempted French Royalist landing at Quiberon Bay on the north-west coast of France. The following year it fought in Egypt under Sir Ralph Abercromby, winning the battle honour ‘Mandora’ and the sphinx in its cap badge. It then remained in Britain and Ireland for five years from 1802. The regiment formed part of the force sent to attack Copenhagen in 1807 and anchored off Goteborg the following year to offer the Swedish king assistance. This was refused and the force re-routed to the Peninsula. The regiment fought at Corunna and wore a black line in its lace in memory of Sir John Moore’s death. Just six months after being evacuated from Corunna, the regiment was sent on the Walcheren Expedition, before returning to the Peninsula in 1810, fighting its way up into France by April 1814. It was in Ireland when Napoleon escaped from Elba and was rushed to the continent soon enough to fight at Quatre Bras and Waterloo in 1815. The regiment spent much of the post-war period in Scotland and Ireland, though it was sent to Jamaica for eight years in 1819 and Barbados for three years in 1841. Other overseas postings included Gibraltar, Malta and Corfu. During the Crimean War (1854-56) the regiment was stationed in Turkey, gaining no battle honours for the campaign. In 1858 the regiment sailed for India during the Mutiny (1857-59), returning to Britain in 1863. In 1868 it returned to India, this time for 13 years, in which it fought in the Second Afghan War (1878-80). In January 1881 the regiment moved to South Africa and in July the same year it merged with the 75th Regiment of Foot to form The Gordon Highlanders. Motto 'Bydand' (meaning 'Steadfast' - the motto of the Clan Gordon and the Dukes of Gordon)

Media
The 92nd is a group of people who are passionate about what they are a part of. As a result, there are many pictures and videos of the regiment, dating back to its primarily European existence in Mount and Musket. Below is a collection of a few of those pictures and videos, specifically focusing on the life of the regiment between twenty-fifteen and twenty-sixteen. While there are so many great moments and visuals taken of the group, the ones below are a select few that stand out particularly among the rest. Furthermore, this section will constantly see new pictures and videos to replace the old, more or less interesting ones, so check back regularly to see more kilt and bearskin.
