10th North Lincoln Regiment of Foot -1st Light Company

[Mr. Kochi]

The 10th (North Lincoln) Regiment of Foot was originally formed as ‘Granville's’ or the ‘Earl of Bath's Regiment’, becoming known as the 10th Regiment of Foot in 1751. The regiments march was ‘Lincolnshire Poacher’, and was recognized by the Yellow Facings of the uniform, a tradition going back to the officers of the Royal North Lincolnshire Militia who wore bright yellow waistcoats; this was the origin of the Regiment’s nickname the ‘Yeller Bellies’, and is likely to be the origin of the British nickname for all ‘Yellow Bellies’, people born and raised in the County of Lincolnshire. The Regiment first saw action during the War of the Grand Alliance (as the Bath’s Regiment) against the French and again in the War for the League of Augsburg, and the War of the Spanish Succession. In 1750 the regiment was stationed in Ireland, and was renamed to the 10th ‘Regiment of Foot. The Regiment’s imperial history includes service in the Americas, both in the Seven Years War and the American War of Independence, where the regiment emerged victorious after the Battle of Bunker Hill, and participated in many other battles throughout the war, not returning home to England until 1778 after 19 years of service overseas in the Americas. In 1781 the regiment was linked to the county of Lincolnshire for recruitment, and became known as the 10th ‘North Lincoln’ Regiment of Foot. It was during the Napoleonic Wars that the Regiment served in the Egypt Campaign and was awarded the battle honour of the Sphinx of Egypt for an emblem. During the Napoleonic Wars it also participated in the Peninsular War as well. Following this the 10th saw further overseas combat, being sent to India for the First Anglo-Sikh War, where they participated in the Battle of Sobraon, where they formed a comradeship with the 29th Regiment of Foot when engaged in bloody and merciless combat against the Sikh soldiers in the captured trenches. The 1st Battalion served in Japan between 1868 and 1871 to protect a foreign community in Yokohama. It was during this period that the Regiment is connected to British and Japanese Imperial history, while stationed in Japan the leader of the 1st Battalion of the 10th North Lincoln Regiment’s marching band, John William Fenton, was the first bandmaster in Japan and is credited for his involvement in the selection of Kimi ga Yo becoming the national anthem of the Japanese Empire. In 1881 the 10th Regiment of Foot was renamed to simply the Lincolnshire Regiment, as all were Regiments were then assigned County names to replace the numbering. The regiment served distinctively and fought in the Western Front during World War One, being awarded 3 Victoria Crosses through the fighting in the trenches of Flanders. After seeing action in the World War 2, through Norway, France, Italy and North Africa, the regiment was honoured by the title of Royal Lincolnshire Regiment, before reorganization of the British Army in the 60s, in which the county-based regiment was reorganized to a point where there was no longer a Lincolnshire Regiment.

The 10th Regiment of Foot is a British Light Infantry unit, which represents the regiment's First Battalion's Light Company. We are a group of former and current Battle Grounds II skirmish and line battle players, adept in the ways of both open and closed ranks combat. We're based in EU and accept all players who wish to partake in casual, laid back line battle and skirmish events. Seriousness and politeness aside, nothing in the 10th Regiment is mandatory. Although we expect our members to join our private and public events, we will not carry out absentee checks or enforce attendance on any of our members. Our biggest aim is to have fun among friends, while keeping a certain level of professionalism.

In order to join the 10th Regiment of Foot, applicants should contact one of our officers or NCOs, and answer a few questions to determine if you are fit to serve or not. After being accepted, all recruits will go through a basic training phase, in which the officers will teach them the ways of the British Light Infantry, proper line and skirmish orders and clan etiquette. Once the training is complete, the recruits will be fully accepted into the 10th Regiment of Foot as Privates.
