Regiments / 51st Regiment of Foot "2nd Yorkshire, West Riding" [EU]
« on: January 27, 2013, 10:57:20 pm »
 | The 51st Regiment was originally raised in 1754 as the 51st (American Provincials) and was disbanded in 1755, to be raised as the 53rd Regiment (Napier's) by the Marquis of Rockingham. In 1757 it was renamed the 51st Regiment (Brudenell's).Raised in the West Riding of Yorkshire, it has had the strongest possible association with that area ever since, becoming the 51st (2nd Yorkshire, West Riding) Regiment in 1782.It was in the Seven Years’ War (1756-63) that, at the Battle of Minden (1759), the Regiment gained its first, and perhaps most well known, battle honour. The victory at Minden is celebrated every year on 1st August when white roses are worn in the headdress, symbolising the roses allegedly plucked by soldiers of the Regiment at Minden. |
From 1771 to 1782 the 51st Regiment of Foot was in Minorca and it was there in 1777 that the young Ensign John Moore joined them. After service in Ireland, Gibraltar and Corsica the 51st returned to England for a brief stay before embarking for Spain in 1807.The Regiment distinguished itself at Lugo and Corunna and, in tribute to their former commander General Sir John Moore and recognition of their involvement, the 51st was formed into a Light Infantry Corps in 1809 which was officially confirmed in a letter from Horse Guards on 2nd May 1809:"His Majesty had been pleased to approve of the 51st Regiment being immediately formed into a Light Infantry Corps upon the same plan as the 43rd, 52nd, 68th, 71st and 85th regiments". |  |
 | The 51st fought with distinction in the great battles of the Peninsula War including Fuentes d’Onor, Salamanca, Vittoria and Badajoz and it was at the storming of Badajoz in 1811 that Ensign Joseph Dyas won instant glory for himself and the Regiment by twice leading the storming party on the San Cristobal Fort.'The Stormers' - refers to the gallantry of the 'forlorn hope' led by Ensign Dyas and originally it was the custom to toast 'Ensign Dyas' throughout the Peninsula Army, but in later years the practice has been restricted to the KOYLI to toast 'Ensign Dyas and the Stormers' in silence.In 1815 the Regiment was in Portsmouth and sailed to join the allied army near Brussels. The Commanding Officer, Colonel Mitchell, was appointed to command the 4th Brigade in which the 51st was destined to fight at the Battle of Waterloo.The 51st was on the extreme right of the line and was engaged early in the battle when the French attacked Hougoumont Farm. The 51st were being responsible for preventing 100 French cuirassiers from escaping the field along the Nivelles Road.The 51st returned to England in January 1816 for a period of 5 years home service and in 1821 became the 51st (2nd Yorkshire West Riding) or "The King's Own" Light Infantry. |
The 51st was formed in 1755 for service during the Seven Years' War. Originally numbered the 53rd, Napiers, Regiment of Foot, and bearing the name of its colonel, Robert Napier, it was re-numbered in 1757, with the name of its new colonel, as 51st Brudenells Regiment. In 1759 they saw action at the battle of Minden, which later became their first battle honour. Following the war, the 51st had garrison duty in Ireland and Minorca, acquiring their county association in 1783 as the 51st (2nd Yorkshire West Riding) Regiment.
The regiment was at Gibraltar at the start of the French Revolutionary Wars and in 1795 they were in Corsica at the siege of Calvi.
In 1803-05 it took part in the Kandyan Wars in Sri Lanka.
In 1808 the 51st became a Light Infantry regiment and took part in Peninsular War, where they fought in every major action. Following Napoleon's escape from Elba in 1815, they fought in the Battle of Waterloo.
In 1881, as part of the Childers Reforms, the 51st was amalgamated with the 105th Regiment of Foot (Madras Light Infantry) to form the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry.

This is annoying me as i had fought to get the 51st name so i could lead it, what is annoying me is that before me marsh lead the regiment, Marsh is the stefiboy of EU he promissed not to fuck up and he did. But I i wanted to give it a go and lead the 51st. I made the thread had everything organised for me to go to sleep but then they introduced the new rule, the it is retired. I don't see the point in this as when a new person takes over a name he starts it over as in no history of the last one and there is an in- game unit of the 51st, so if i make a new light infantry unit i need to make a skin. All i wanted to do was lead the 51st Before marsh got it but he did and i sat by and waited since December 14 so basicaly a month or so to get it and now i have beend denied.
I made this for others to tell me if they think this is just or not. Not to argue at all.

17th Lancers Service in the Empire
Spoiler
In December 1857 the 17th arrived in India to reinforce the effort to suppress the Indian rebellion against British rule. By the time the regiment was prepared for service, the rebellion was effectively over, though it did pursue Tantia Topi. During the course of the pursuit, Lieutenant Evelyn Wood earned the Victoria Cross for gallantry on two separate occasions. Tantia Topi was ultimately captured and hanged by the British. The 17th Lancers remained in India until 1863, when it returned to Britain.
In India, the 17th became the 17th Regiment of Lancers. When, in 1876, it gained Prince George, Duke of Cambridge as its Colonel-in-Chief, the regiment adopted the title of the 17th (The Duke of Cambridge's Own) Lancers.
The 17th was sent to Natal Colony for the Zulu War. On 4 July 1879, the 17th fought at the Battle of Ulundi under Sir Drury Curzon Drury-Lowe. The 17th was posted inside a large British infantry square during the attack by the Zulu Army, which had surrounded the British. When the attack appeared to be wavering, the 17th Lancers were ordered to advance. Their charge routed the warriors with heavy loss. The battle proved to be decisive. The 17th returned to India the same year, remaining there until about 1890 when they returned home.
In 1900 the 17th returned to Southern Africa for the Second Boer War. They missed the large pitched battles, but would still see substantial action during the war. In 1900, Sergeant Brian Lawrence won the regiment's fifth and final VC at Essenbosch Farm. The 17th's most significant action was at the Battle of Elands River (Modderfontein) in September 1901. C Squadron of the 17th was attacked by Boers under Jan Smuts whom they mistook for British troops. The Boers took advantage of a mist to encircle the British camp. When Smuts' vanguard ran head on into a Lancer patrol, the British hesitated to fire because many of the Boers wore captured British uniforms. The Boers immediately opened fire and attacked in front while Smuts led the remainder of his force to attack the British camp from the rear. The British party suffered further casualties at a closed gate that slowed them down. All six British officers sustained wounds and four were killed. Only Captain Sandeman, the commanding officer, and Lieutenant Lord Vivian survived. The 17th Lancers had suffered 29 killed and 41 wounded before surrendering, while Boer losses were one killed and six wounded.The 17th returned home in 1902 with the conclusion of the war. The regiment left for India in 1905, where it remained until the First World War.
