| about the 89th Foot
The89th Foot was formed by both old and new members of this community. Our members come from a wide variety of backgrounds within the community. Many of our members have great melee skill and experience. We strive to become a disciplined and melee focused regiment, whilst still keeping a layer of fun. We take part in various events, however, they are mostly 1v1 line battles and group fighting matches. We also play various other games together, outside of events. We want members of the regiment treat others with respect and do not discriminate against anyone. The 89th Foot hopes to become a home for any person, no matter how they sound, look or play. Those that show a desire to improve will be trained and will better their skill. Those that wish to join but desire fun above skill are welcome, however, we expect them to treat others with respect and be disciplined.

The History of the 89th (The Princess Victoria's) Regiment Of Foot
In December 1793 a regiment was raised in Dublin to meet Britain’s manpower needs in the French Revolutionary Wars (1792-1802). It was given the numeral 89 and sent to Flanders the following year.
It was back in Ireland by 1798, suppressing the Irish Rebellion of that year. In 1799 it moved to the Mediterranean, serving on Minorca, Sicily and Malta before serving in the Egyptian Campaign (1801). In 1804 the regiment raised a 2nd Battalion.
The newly designated 1st Battalion sailed for northern Germany in 1805, losing two companies and its Colours on the voyage from Ireland. It was back in England by 1806, when it was presented with a new set. The following year it joined the abortive attempt to capture Spanish ports in South America, before moving to the Cape of Good Hope in 1807.
In 1808 1st Battalion moved to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). It remained in India and the Far East for the next 23 years. Its service included the capture of Mauritius (1810), the invasion of Java (1811) and Sumatra (1812) in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia), the Third Maratha War (1817-18) and the First Burma War (1824-26).

| Meanwhile, 2nd Battalion had garrisoned Ireland until 1810 when four companies were sent to Spain during the Peninsular War (1808-14). These were captured by the French at Fuengirola (1810). The rest of the battalion fought throughout the War of 1812 (1812-15), winning the battle honour ‘Niagara’ before being disbanded in 1816.
In 1831 the regiment returned to England. Two years later Princess Victoria, the heiress to the throne, in her first public engagement, presented the 89th with new Colours. In honour of this it added her coronet to its badge.
The regiment spent 1831 to 1854 garrisoning Gibraltar, the West Indies, Canada and Britain, before being sent to fight in the Crimean War (1854-56) where it served at Sevastopol (1855).
In 1855 the 89th moved to the Cape Colony (in what is now South Africa), fighting against an uprising by the Xhosa, before moving to Bombay in 1857 for service during the Indian Mutiny (1857-59).
It stayed in India for eight years and in 1866, a year after its return to Britain, it was presented with a new set of Colours by Queen Victoria. That year she renamed the regiment ‘Princess Victoria’s’ in memory of the 1833 presentation.
