About
Welcome to the New Official Forum page of the 88e! We were originally founded in January of 2013 as the 88th Connaught Rangers, but on February 17th of that year we defected to France and become the 88e Régiment d'Infanterie de Ligne. We are an active French Line Infantry Regiment that has been been playing for the past month. We are a regiment that tries to have fun while remembering that discipline is a very important part of success, and we try to ensure that everyone has a great time.
During the Williamite wars in the late 17th century, the Berwick regiment of the Irish Brigade - a brigade of 5 Jacobite regiments full of exiles and rebels against the English Crown - swore allegiance to the King of France in exchange for a much larger force of French Infantry to aid the Irish Jacobite's.
When the French Crown was overthrown the Berwick regiment retained their loyalty to the French in order to spite the English Crown that had exiled them from their homeland. In 1796, they merged with several other regiments and battalions to form the
88e.
The 88e were involved in many major battles, and their valour, skill, and discipline earned them a great many number of awards and thanks from Napoleon himself.
