History of the 56th "West Essex"

The 56th (West Essex) Regiment of Foot was an infantry regiment in the British Army, active from 1755 to 1881. It was originally raised in Northumbria as the 58th Regiment, and renumbered the 56th the following year when two senior regiments were disbanded. It saw service in Cuba at the capture of Havana in the Seven Years' War, and was later part of the garrison during the Great Siege of Gibraltar in the American Revolutionary War. During the French Revolutionary Wars it fought in the Caribbean and then in Holland. On the outbreak of the Napoleonic Wars the 56th raised a second battalion in 1804 as part of the anti-invasion preparations; both saw service in India and in the Indian Ocean, with the first capturing Réunion and Mauritius. A third battalion was formed in the later years of the war, but was disbanded after a brief period of service in the Netherlands.

Introduction

The 56th "West Essex" is a Line Infantry Regiment. We were founded in February of 2017. As a Regiment we are not the most 'mature' so to speak but we do enjoy the game. Though we are a Line Infantry regiment we hope to add an Artillery Soon, therefor please get in contact with the Colonel or Lieutenant Colonel if you could 1. Help get the Recruits Required and 2. Help get events and sort out Events ect for the Artillery.
