Early History

The 47th was raised in 1741, under Sir John Mordaunt. In 1743, General Peregrine Lascelles assumed command of the regiment and it became known as Lascelles' Regiment of Foot. The regiment first saw action at the Battle of Prestonpans during The Jacobite Rebellion of 1745. Lascelles' Regiment was ranked as the 58th Foot in 1747, finally becoming the 47th Regiment of Foot in July of 1751. The 47th Foot arrived in North America in 1750, and was serving in Nova Scotia at the outbreak of the French and Indian War. The 47th participated in the capture of Louisburg in July of 1758. On September 13, 1759, the 47th Foot together with the 43rd, formed the centre of the front line of General Wolfe's Army fighting on the Plains of Abraham, above the city of Quebec. The regiment took part in the defense of Quebec, and in the expedition against Montreal in 1760. The 47th returned home in 1763.

Napoleonic History

In 1803 the 2nd Battalion was raised again and the following year deployed to Ireland. In 1806 the 1st Battalion arrived in the Cape of Good Hope to undertake garrison duties in the territory captured from the Dutch. That year an unsuccessful, and unauthorised, expedition to the French allies Spain against its South American possessions, led by Sir Home Riggs Popham, took place. The following year the 1st Battalion was part of the second-invasion force, led by Brigadier-General Sir Samuel Auchmuty, who was unaware of the failure of the first-invasion. The 1st Battalion took part in the siege and subsequent storming of Montevideo (now capital of Uruguay), which culminated in the capture of the city on 3 February. It also saw action in July during the mis-managed attempt to capture Buenos Aires (now capital of Argentina) from the Spanish. The attempt to capture the city failed and the British force was soon surrendered. The 1st Battalion eventually arrived in India in 1808 and the following year its flank companies took part in an expedition to the Persian Gulf against notorious Arab Pirates in their base of Ras-al-Khaima. Also that year the 2nd Battalion deployed to Gibraltar and in 1811 commenced its participation in the Peninsular War, a war which saw the UK, Portugal and Spain fighting the French. The regiment's flank companies took part in the Battle of Barrosa and in December took part in the Battle of Tarifa where they helped repulse an assault by French forces to take the town of Tarifa. In 1812 the British were forced to withdraw back into Portugal though the following year British forces moved back into Spain to launch a concerted effort to remove the French from Spain. The 2nd Battalion in the British victory at the Battle of Vittoria as well as, on 31 August, the siege and subsequent storming of San Sebastian during which the 2nd Battalion, one of the battalions that led the assault, and the rest of the British and Allied forces sustained significant casualties in the attempt to storm the breaches in the walls of the town of San Sebastian. The French surrendered on 8 September after the town, which the French had fled too, was subjected to a sustained bombardment by artillery. The 2nd Battalion crossed the Bidasoa River, finally into France itself. The battalion took part in the Battle of Nive and ended its war while taking part in the siege of Bayonne, France in 1814 when the war with France finally concluded, with the UK victorious. The 2nd Battalion, having battled so determinedly in that bitter war, returned home and was disbanded at Portsmouth.
