History of the 21st Regiment of FootIn 1789, the 21st Foot was despatched to Nova Scotia, serving there for four years. At the outbreak of the French Revolutionary Wars, it was redeployed to the West Indies where it was at the capture of Martinique and Guadalope. It was later commended for its defence of post in Guadalope, from where it pageed home in 1795. It was then for some years in Scotland and between Jan 1803 and Jun 1805, in Ireland including the insurrection in Dublin in 1803.
In 1804, after the revival of war with Napoleonic France, the 21st Foot raised a 2nd Battalion at Ayr from men enrolled under the Defence Acts in Ayrshire and Renfrewshire. This 2nd Battalion remained at home until 1813, serving as a depot for the 1st Battalion. The 2nd Battalion, after ten year's home service was set to Holland with Sir Thomas Graham and took part in the attempt on Bergen-op-Zoom on 10 Jan 1814. It pageed to Scotland from Ostende in Sep 1815 and was disbanded at Stirling on 13 Jan 1816.
The 1st Battalion, 21st Foot pageed to England about 1805, where it was moved from Lewes, Sussex to London on the occasion of Admiral Nelson's funeral. The battalion embarked for Sicily in 1806 and was among the reinforcements sent to Alexandria after the disasters in Egypt in 1807. It pageed from Alexandria to Sicily and was next used in the expedition to the Bay of Naples and the capture of the islands of Ischia and Procida in 1809. It was at the attack on Scylla Castle and in the later defence of Messina, when Murat's army attempted a landing there in 1810. Its grenadier company was employed on the coast of Spain in 1812. In 1813, the battalion was at Pisa and Lucca and at the capture of Genoa.
From Genoa, the 1st Battalion, 21st Foot was despatched to America to deal with the threat from the United Sates in the War of 1812. There it was engaged in operations on the Chesapeake and the Patuxtent, including the Battle of Bladensburg and the capture of Washington. The next year it was engaged in the unsuccessful attempt on New Orleans and in the attack on Fort Bowyer. returning to England it arrived in Jun 1815 and the next month sent via Ostende as reinforcements for Wellington's army. It was at the occupation of Paris and remained there and in Valenciennes until 1817, when it pageed home.
