« on: December 11, 2018, 03:19:44 am »

History

The 85th was raised in 1793 by George Nugent, their colonel, in Buckinghamshire for service during the French Revolutionary Wars. They first saw action in the Netherlands, before moving to the West Indies. In 1806 they returned to Britain and converted to a Light Infantry role, renaming as the 85th (Bucks Volunteers) Light Infantry. Two years later they were serving under Wellington in the Peninsular campaign and fought at Fuentes de Onoro and Badajoz. In 1814 they were dispatched to America and saw action in the last phase of the War of 1812.[1] In 1815 they received a royal association becoming the 85th (Bucks Volunteers) Duke of York's Light Infantry, and in 1821 the 85th (Bucks Volunteers) King's Light Infantry.
In 1881 as part of the Childers Reforms the 85th amalgamated with the 53rd (Shropshire) Regiment of Foot to become the 2nd battalion, the King's Shropshire Light Infantry.

*** 

January 1810 the regiment sailed from Cork for the Peninsula, to take its share in the warlike operations going on there, landing at Lisbon on February 10. On the 27th the 74th set out to join the army under Wellington, and reached Vizeu on the 6th of March. While at Vizeu, Wellington inquired at Colonel Trench how many of the men who fought at Assaye still remained in the regiment, remarking that if the 74th would behave in the Peninsula as they had done in India, he ought to be proud to command such a regiment. Indeed the "Great Duke" seems to have had an exceedingly high estimate of this regiment, which he took occasion to show more than once. It is a curious fact that the 74th had never more than one battalion; and when, some time before the Duke’s death, "Reserve Battalions" were formed to a few regiments. He decided "that the 74th should not have one, as they got through the Peninsula with one battalion, and their services were second to none in the army."
 
The regiment was placed in the 1st brigade of the 3rd division, under Major-General Picton, along with the 45th, the 88th, and part of the 60th Regiment. This division performed such a distinguished part in all the Peninsular operations, that it earned the appellation of the "Fighting Division."

The first action in which the 74th had a chance of taking part was the battle of Busaco, September 27, 1810. The allied English and Portuguese army numbered 50,000, as opposed to Marshal Massena’s 70,000 men. The two armies were drawn upon opposite ridges, the position of the 74th being across the road leading from St Antonio de Cantara to Coimbra. The first attack on the right was made at six o’clock in the morning by two columns of the French, under General Regnier, both of which were directed with the usual impetuous rush of French troops against the position held by the 3rd division, which was of comparatively easy ascent. One of these columns advanced by the road just alluded to, and was repulsed by the fire of the 74th, with the assistance of the 9th and 21st Portuguese regiments, before it reached the ridge. The advance of this column was preceded by a cloud of skirmishers, who came up close to the British position, and were picking off men, when the two right companies of the regiment were detached, with the rifle companies belonging to the brigade, and drove back the enemy’s skirmishers with great vigour nearly to the foot of the sierra. The French, however, renewed the attack in greater force, and the Portuguese regiment on the left being thrown into confusion, the 74th was placed in a most critical position, with its left flank exposed to the overwhelming force of the enemy. Fortunately, General Leith, stationed on another ridge, saw the danger of the 74th, and sent the 9th and 38th regiments to its support. These advanced along the rear of the 74th in double quick time, met the head of the French column as it crowned the ridge, and drove them irresistibly down the precipice. The 74th then advanced with the 9th, and kept up a fire upon the enemy as long as they could be reached. The enemy having relied greatly upon this attack, their repulse contributed considerably to their defeat. The 74th had Ensign Williams and 7 rank and file killed, Lieutenant Cargilland 19 rank and file wounded. The enemy lost 5000 killed and wounded.

Forum & Website / Communism, why not National Socialism?

« on: October 15, 2013, 07:15:27 pm »

This thread is posted on behalf of Tavington, I am in no manner affiliated to the construction and publication of this text par posting it.

It has come to my attention that as of late various members of the community have been shunned for harboring National Socialist beliefs, values and or images as their avatars, signatures etc. Yet, I find it hard to comprehend why those who use Communist images do not face the same repercussions? Namely, Dessert Thunda, I'm not singling him out but for the past few months he has had Communist material on his profile yet has faced no repercussions. Why is this permitted? Because they won the war? Communism, is and always will be a Cultural Marxist pile of shit.

Stalin and the Soviets right up until their demise slaughtered far more people than the Nazis ever did yet people ignore this fact because "OH DUH GERMUNS DUN KIL DE JEWS DEY BAD DUH HUH". You're all endorsing Cultural Marxism which is curtailed by the European Union.

So I ask of the staff either disallow Communist imagery and paraphernalia or allow both Communist and National Socialist. I speak for myself and several others (who are not banned) when I say that I find Communism and all its associates insulting and offensive as it reminds me of the death of European Nationalism and Pride in 1945. There are many people from the Baltic states who will also find Communism offensive and some Poles too give their brutal occupation of said country's.

Stalin alone killed far more of his own people then Hitler ever killed (not that either of them ever killed an individual) yet Stalin and his associates are permitted on this forum? Ever hear of the Show Trials? When Stalin sent hundreds of thousands of people to their death because of his paranoia? Or the so called "Great Patriotic War" fought against Germany where people were thrown into the fight without even a weapon and shot if they ran from the field? This is the man and the regime you permit on the forum yet you disallow Nazism and or National Socialism, which are different mind you.

Think about it. Thanks.

Tav.

History

Formation and Courna

Founded on the 16th March 1689, the regiment was numbered the 23rd Regiment of Foot. The regiment served in the Williamite War, fighting at the Battles of the Boyne and Aughrim. In the War of the Grand Alliance, they were at the Siege of Namur and in the War of the Spanish Succession, they were at Schellenberg and Blenheim. During the War of the Austrian Succession, they were at Dettingen, Fontenoy and Lauffeld and in the Seven Years' War, they fought at Minden, Warburg, Kloster Kampen and Wilhelmsthal. The light infantry and grenadier companies of the Fusiliers saw bloody action at the Battle of Bunker Hill and all companies, except the grenadiers who were garrisoning New York City, at the Battle of Guilford Court House in the American War of Independence. The regiment participated in nearly every campaign from the Lexington & Concord to Yorktown. Many first hand accounts of the American War of Independence can be found in "the Diary of Lieutenant Frederick Mackenzie" or Serjeant Roger Lamb's "Original and Authentic Journal of Occurrences During the Late American War". In the Wars of the French Revolution, the Fusiliers served in the West Indies in 1793-94, before going to Europe for the Helder Expedition and to Egypt for the Battle of Alexandria. It’s service in the Napoleonic Wars started early in 1801 when, under Sir John Moore, the regiment landed at Aboukir Bay and fought off two French Battalions. The regiment suffered 46 casualties, 6 of which were fatal. This ensured a safe landing for the rest of the army. After fighting in Egypt and Napoleon agreed to a truce, the regiment obtained the battle honour of Egypt. During the peace the regiment was stationed in Gibraltar and suffered heavily from disease. In 1803 the regiment sent out recruiting parties to Manchester, Worcester, Wrexham and Yeovil to re-fill their ranks with 100 Privates in 10 companies. However in 1804 the regiment still had not met its target and were also asked to make a second battalion. That spring 1st Battalion had only ¼ of its total strength, and 2nd Battalion only had 74 in the ranks. After the recruitment reforms, in 1806 2nd battalion now had 400 strong. 79 were Irish, 8 Scottish, 221 ENglish and only 74 Welsh soldiers. In 1805 the 1st Battalion were sent to the abortive expedition to Cuxhaven. And then in 1807 the the regiment took part in the successful raid to seize the Danish fleet. In 1808 1st battalion departed for Nova Scotia on the 1st March. (St. Davids day.) In 1808 2nd Battalion landed in Coruna and formed part of the corps sent to aide Sir John Moore in the Peninsula. But as is famous, Sir John Moore was being outflanked by Napoleon and retreated back to Coruna. During the retreat the 23rd lost only 78 men. The 23rd was in the rear guard as the rest of the army embarked onto the British Naval ships, and the battalion was the last to leave the shore. Captain Thomas Lloyd Fletcher and a Corporal were the last to leave, as they locked the gate to the city.

The 23rd and Albuera After two years of being deployed in the America’s the 1st battalion were sent to Lisbon. The battalion was part of the 4th Division under Major-General Sir Lowry Cole, and after Wellingtons advance short of Coimbra, the 4th Division was sent to Badajoz. The Badajoz siege force was lead under William Carr Bresofrd, who had been the 23rd’s second battalion’s brigadier at Coruna. But news that Marshal Soult was advancing on the British siege works at Badajoz, meant that William Carr Bresford pulled most of his force back to Albuera. Whilst most of his force had successfully concentrated on Albuera, three infantry battalions were stranded on the other side of the Guadiana which flooded. By the 15th May, Bresford had 20,000 men on the Albuera position and a 14,000 strong Spanish army was due to join him in the night. The Albuera position was mainly a long low ridge facing east across a easily passable stream. Besford placed two battalions of German light infantry in Albuera, and placed most of his infantry on the ridge. When the Spanish joined Bresford, he placed them to his far right. The 23rd were held as reserves along with the Fusilier Brigade, and their main job was to protect the rear from powerful french cavalry. On the 16th May Soult launched a faint attack against Albuera, but his main force had swung south and were making their way along the ridge. Bresford ordered the Spaniards to turn to face the oncoming French, but the commander of the Spanish; Blake, refuses to turn his men as he believed no attack could come from the south. The French advanced on the Spanish, and though a fight ensued the Spanish were forced to give ground. Bresford ordered the second division to support the Spanish, but the commander of the second division, William Stewart, ordered his men into line just as French cavalry attacked him. Bresford supported 2nd Division by sending in the German battalions placed in Albuera, replacing them with Portuguese. However there was a huge delay in the move of the Germans. The Fusilier Brigade were formed near the bottom of the ridge, and advanced towards the French. As the fusilier Brigade advanced a Portuguese brigade to it’s left was attacked and destroyed by French Cavalry. The fusiliers bravely fought off the horsemen with volleys, yet still the 2 battalions marched towards 9 French battalions. Eventually the Brigade was in a fierce firefight with the French, and the Fusilier Brigade was battered. And a constant fight was kept up as the Fusiliers slowly pushed the columned French backwards. The fusiliers fought their way and eventually the French gave up from the volleys from the British and Soult withdrew with 7,000 less men. The fusilier brigade lost half of it’s strength. And the 23rd suffered 76 dead and 248 wounded with 6 missing. Unfortunately Lieutenant-Colonel Ellis was shot in the fighting. The battle strengthened the relationship of the Fusiliers and the Royal Welch.

The 23rd and Waterloo
After the Peninsula war the 2nd Battalion was disbanded and gave 447 of its men to 1st Battalion. When Napoleon returned in 1815 the 1st battalion joined the allied army in Belgium and billeted at Grammont. After the Duke of Wellington inspected the 23rd he wrote saying: “I saw the 23rd the other day and I never saw a regiment in such order. They are not strong, but it was the most complete and handsome military body I ever looked at.” Compared to most other regiments at Waterloo the 23rd were a battle-experienced unit. The 23rd were placed behind the Guards on the Nivelles road. When the guards were sent to support Hugomont the 23rd formed square and joined the main line. After being battered by numerous cavalry attacks, one attack of French infantry and the constant French shelling the 23rd retired to their original position where they stayed till the French Imperial Guard advanced on the British centre. The 23rd advanced and bivouacked to the right of Charleroi for the night.

Regiments / 18th Regiment of Foot (The Royal Irish) [Recruiting Eu/Na]

« on: February 24, 2013, 10:56:42 pm »

History
The regiment was formed in 1684 by the Earl of Granard from independent companies in Ireland. In 1695, the regiment became known as the Royal Regiment of Ireland due to its performance at Namur under the direction of King William III. The regiment also won the right to display the King's arms on their colours along with the harp and crown. The regiment served throughout the turn of the 18th century in continental battles before being sent to Gibraltar. In 1751, the regiment was officially ranked as the 18th Regiment of Foot - although it was older than all but six other line regiments, it had not been placed on the English establishment until 1689, lowering its precedence.

The regiment was in Ireland during the majority of the Seven Years War and was ordered to America on 1 January 1767. The regiment arrived at Philadelphia on 11 July 1767 under the command of Lieutenant Colonel John Wilkins. The regiment remained at Philadelphia, although a small detachment was sent to Ft. Pitt later that summer. The majority of the regiment under Wilkins was ordered to Illinois in early 1768 and remained in Illinois until April 1772 when Fort Chartres was abandoned. A small detachment under Captain Hugh Lord, remained at Ft. Gage (Kaskaskia), Illinois until May 1776 when it was ordered to Detroit in anticipation of an American attack. The rest of the regiment was present in Boston, where the grenadier company participated in the Battle of Lexington and Battle of Concord and Bunker Hill, its first formal combat in more than 50 years. The regiment was drafted into other regiments in Boston in December 1775 and at Detroit in July 1776. According to the regimental History the losses at Lexington/Concord were 2 killed/4 wounded and at Bunker Hill 3 rank & file killed while Lt Richardson and seven rank & file were wounded Lord's Detachment was drafted into the 8th (King's) Regiment in July 1776. The Royal Irish returned to Gibraltar in 1783, where they remained until the Siege of Toulon in 1793.
