| In 1787 the East India Company raised troops to meet an expected threat to its territories from France. When that threat failed to materialise, it refused to pay for these troops or for transporting them to India, so they had to be formed into four line infantry regiments in the British Army. One of these was the 75th (Highland) Regiment of Foot, which was immediately sent to India. There it fought in the Fourth Mysore (1799) and Second Maratha Wars (1803-05), winning the Royal Bengal Tiger on its Colours. The regiment returned to Scotland in 1807 but two years later lost its Highland status and dress. Its next overseas posting was to Sicily from 1811 to 1814. Nine years on the Ionian Islands and Gibraltar followed, before the regiment returned to Britain in 1823. It then spent 26 years on home service, only interrupted by a year fighting in the Cape Frontier Wars in South Africa in 1834. Sergeant Richard Wadeson, 75th Regiment of Foot, winning the Victoria Cross by rescuing Private Michael Farrell from an enemy cavalryman, 18 July 1857 (see picture on the right of this text) NAM. 1973-02-10-8 In 1849 the regiment returned to India, meaning it was already in theatre on the outbreak of the Indian Mutiny (1857-59). It went on to serve at both Delhi and Lucknow. In 1862 the regiment regained official recognition of its Scottish connection, when it was made the county regiment for Stirlingshire, on the border between Lowland and Highland Scotland. The regiment returned to Britain straight after the Mutiny and spent the 1860s and 1870s there and in Ireland, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Singapore and the Cape Colony. It was back in Britain by 1881, when it merged with the 92nd Regiment of Foot to form The Gordon Highlanders. |  Source: www.nam.ac.uk | |

Established in 1741, by 1745 the regiment was in Gibraltar and under the command of a Colonel Warburton, while two years later it was serving in Nova Scotia during Father Le Loutre’s War, the 45th being called out on active service. The regiment participated in the Siege of Louisbourg (1758) and the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. The 45th Regiment served for twenty years in Canada. The regiment also participated in the American Revolution, the Peninsular War, Burmese War, and the Kaffir War. During the Childers Reforms it was united with the 95th (Derbyshire) Regiment of Foot to form The Sherwood Foresters (Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment).*** Service History The 45th Regiment was raised in 1741 as Houghton's Regiment, for service during the War of the Austrian Succession and Warburton's Regiment during Father Le Loutre's War and the French and Indian War. It was first posted to Gibraltar in 1745, before moving to Nova Scotia in 1747 for garrison duty. In 1758 the regiment fought in the Siege of Louisburg. which became the regiments first battle honour.From 1774 the regiment was in action in North America during the American War of Independence, fighting in the battles of Long Island, Philadelphia, Brandywine Creek and Germantown. In 1783 they returned home to Nottingham, where the citizens petitioned for the regiment to be named "the Nottinghamshire regiment". This was granted the same year, becoming the 45th (1st Nottinghamshire) Regiment. The regiment returned to the Americas in 1786, spending the next 16 years, with one break, in the West Indies. During this time they saw action against the French as part of the French Revolutionary Wars, at Martinique, Dominica and Les Saintes. After an expedition to South America in 1807, fighting at Buenos Aires, the 45th returned to Britain, to take part in Wellington's Peninsular campaign. In this they fought in every major action, winning the nickname "Old Stubborns" at Talavera, and being commended at Busaco and Badajoz. Following the end of the Napoleonic Wars the Nottinghamshires served in a series of colonial campaigns. In 1819 they were in Ceylon, and in 1824 in the First Burma War. In 1843 they were in South Africa for the First Kaffir War, and in 1851 for the Second.
