The 53rd are a British Line Infantry Regiment, which aims to bring a great gaming experience for all of our members. Our immediate goal is to provide a fun, mature gaming environment for all our members, closely followed up by defeating our enemies with a mixture of skill, determination and discipline. Discipline is a particularly important aspect of the regiment, as increased discipline leads to a more fun, stable environment which our members can enjoy without worrying about trolls interrupting their gaming experience. Needless to say, trolling is therefore not tolerated under any circumstances.Racism is also completely banned, and failure to comply will lead to a swift eviction from the regiment.
We are an EU based regiment that accepts a large variety of different cultures into our ranks. Our only requirements are that you have a good grasp of English, as this is the universally spoken language within the regiment, and you can turn up to our events on a regular basis and act maturely during events. Promotions and demotions will occur on a regular basis, where members who have proven themselves to be dedicated may get promoted if deemed worthy enough, and on the flip side, members who fail to abide by our values, whether it be by trolling, causing arguments or any other such activities, can expect to be demoted.
However, do not fear that poor melee or shooting skills will hinder access to our regiment. We are always looking for dedicated players who are willing to improve on their skills, regardless of their current level. By proving to be an active, dedicated member of the regiment who is always looking to improve their skills you will also become a real asset to the regiment, and may recieve a NCO rank, whereby you will recieve more responsibilites within the regiment, but also our trust that you will be able to handle these responsibilites with skill and flair.

Within the regiment, we have many members of all skill sets. For those who are less confident with the game, our more veteran players will always be willing to help those who ask for it, so that even our newest member can swiftly become experienced at the game. We keep careful track of our members, from details such as melee skill to attendance, in order to ensure that we know exactly what our members, and us a regiment, are capable of. We understand that you will not always be able to attend all events, and real life comes first. However, we do expect that all members who are aware that they will be unable to attend events contact a senior member of the regiment, just so we can keep track of everyone.


The 53rd was raised in 1755 as the 55th but was renumbered in 1757 to the 53rd. The regiment would see its first action when it arrived at Quebec City in May 1776 to help raise the siege of the city by Continental Army troops during the American Revolutionary War. The regiment served in the 1776 campaign under Guy Carleton, 1st Baron Dorchester at the Battle of Trois-Rivières and the Battle of Valcour Island. In 1777 its flank companies (Grenadier and Light infantry) were with Gen. John Burgoyne during the ill-fated Saratoga Campaign. Men from the other eight companies would serve under Maj. Christopher Carleton of the 29th Regiment of Foot during Carleton's Raid (1778) and in 1780 during the Burning of the Valleys campaign. Lieutenant Houghton of the 53rd would lead the Royalton Raid in 1780 burning three towns in eastern Vermont. In 1782 the regiment was linked to the county of Shropshire for recruiting. The Regiment returned to England in 1787.During the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars the regiment raised a 2nd battalion. The regiment would see action at the Battle of Nieuport, Battle of Tournay, St. Lucia, Battle of Talavera, Battle of Salamanca, Battle of Vittoria, Battle of Nivelle and the Battle of Toulouse.The regiment would be in India to serve in the First Anglo-Sikh War, Second Anglo-Sikh War and the Indian Mutiny where it took part in the relief of Lucknow. The regiment earned 5 Victoria Crosses during the Mutiny.In 1881 the regiment was combined with the 85th Regiment of Foot to form The King's Shropshire Light Infantry Regiment. In 1968 The King's Shropshire Light Infantry became the 3rd battalion of The Light Infantry.
