History of the 59th Regiment of Foot On 23 December 1755 Lieutenant-General Sir Charles Montagu raised the 61st Regiment of Foot in the counties of Leicestershire and Northamptonshire. Following the disbandment of two junior regiments, the 61st was renumbered as the 59th Regiment of Foot in the following year. In August 1804, while stationed in England, a second battalion of the 59th Foot was raised. The 1st Battalion sailed in the following year for the Cape of Good Hope, while the 2nd Battalion was to remain on garrison duty in England, Ireland and the Channel Islands until 1808. In 1812 the 2nd Battalion returned to Spain. They took part in the Battle of Vittoria (June 1813), the Siege of San Sebastián (July – August 1813), the Battle of the Bidassoa (October 1813), the Battle of Nivelle (November 1813) and the Battle of the Nive (December 1813). From France the 2/59th had sailed to Ireland. When Napoleon returned to France, triggering the "Hundred Days", the battalion was part of the British force dispatched to Belgium. While they were present in the Waterloo area, they did not take part in the hostilities. Having formed part of the army of occupation in France, the 2nd Battalion returned to England in 1816, where they were disbanded. Historically correct uniforms may be found here Trainings and Events Tuesday 7PM GMT - Training - Basic Formations and some melee practice Thursday 7PM GMT - Linebattle Sunday 7PM GMT - Linebattle Take note that you do not have to attend each and every one of these events, although decent activity is required to maintain a position in the regiment, we will also be taking part in linebattles that are not scheduled each week and could be organised the day on which they are happen, these events are totally optional but can be used to boost activity.
