Regimental History

The regiment has three separate histories. The first time the regiment was raised was in 1756 formed by the redesignation of the 2nd Battalion, 34th Regiment of Foot . It had a short service mainly in Ireland before being disbanded in 1763 when it became a Regiment of Invalids and finally disbanded in 1769.

The second was as the 1st Battalion 73rd (Highland) Regiment of Foot (MacLeod's Highlanders) which was raised in 1777 in Scotland. The 1st Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley was gazetted an ensign for a short time in this battalion. A second battalion was raised in 1778. The regiment served in Gambia in West Africa in 1779 and in the Second Anglo-Mysore War from 1780 where they served alongside the 2nd/42nd Highlanders who would become the future 73rd Foot. In 1786 the MacLeod's Highlanders became the 71st (Highland) Regiment of Foot (MacLeod's Highlanders) which would eventually become the Highland Light Infantry.

In 1809 the 2nd/73rd Foot was raised in Nottingham from local militia companies. After seeing minor action throughout Europe for six years, the 2nd/73rd Foot fought in the Battle of Quatre Bras two days before Waterloo. They lost 53 men killed and wounded. At the Battle of Waterloo itself, the regiment was charged by French Cavalry no less than 11 times during the battle and bombarded by French artillery. It remained in square without breaking. The 2nd/73rd lost 6 officers and 225 men killed and wounded, the second heaviest casualties suffered by a line infantry regiment, after the 1st 27th (Inniskillings) which lost 450 out of 700 men in holding their square and Wellington's line. After Waterloo the battalion was part of the Army of Occupation in Paris before moving back to England. When the 2nd Battalion disbanded in 1817, it transferred 300 of its men to the 1st Battalion in Trincomalee.




Community History

The 73rd Regiment of Foot was formed by Captain Ribs on October 2nd, 2013. The majority of its members joined from the 33rd Regiment of Foot to form the 73rd's main core: Centre Company. More members joined by the day, and four months after the regiments formation, a light infantry detachment was created. By this time, Captain Ribs had been commissioned a Colonel, and his secretary was promoted to the rank of Adjutant. After the shifting of ranks within the companies and merges of various assorts, the regiment settled itself under Colonel Ribs' and Adjutant Lucy's command, with Lieutenant Mook leading Centre Company and Ensign Scottish leading the Lights Company.

On May 4th of 2014, Ribs, Lucy, and Mook resigned their commissions, but the regiment continued it's great growth. In the year since then, the 73rd has acquired a diverse range of characters in leadership. Currently, it is headed by the aptly named Colonel Scottish, who is in fact Scottish. Lieutenant Colonel William Crowe, Major Doofes, and Adjutant Ippan round out the staff. The Centre Company is lead by Captain Alexander.

It is. It just doesn't feel right. But I guess stranger things have happened. :P
