In April 1756, the regiment sailed from Plymouth for New England. It arrived at New York in June. Immediately, it was redirected to Albany where it joined the assembling army on June 25. On July 23, Loudon finally arrived at New York. He then sailed up the Hudson and, on reaching Albany on July 29, decided to abandon the attempt against Niagara and Frontenac, resolving instead to turn his whole force against Fort Carillon. By the beginning August, he had sent Winslow forward to Lake George with 2,500 men. In mid August, after being informed of the fall of the British forts at Oswego on Lake Ontario, Loudon ordered Winslow to abandon his projects against Fort Carillon but to stay where he was and hold the French in check. By the end of September, the French had some 5,300 men well entrenched at Fort Carillon while Loudon was at the head of some 10,000 men posted from Albany to Lake George. During the month of November, Loudon brought his army into winter quarters, leaving Fort William-Henry under the command of lieutenant-colonel George Munro with the 35th regiment and a few other troops.

At the beginning of 1757, the regiment garrisoned Fort William Henry. Since June, the French had been assembling a strong force at Fort Carillon (today Ticonderoga). On August 3, the marquis de Montcalm appeared in front of Fort William Henry with a force of some 8,000 men. The siege of Fort William Henry lasted till August 9 when the unsupported garrison finally capitulated with the honours of war. On August 10, as the British were marching towards Fort Edward, they were assailed by the Indians despite the efforts deployed by Montcalm. They killed 27 of them and captured or maltreated many more. All the refugees and redeemed prisoners were afterwards conducted to the entrenched camp where food and shelter were provided for them and a strong guard set for their protection. On August 15, the British kept in the entrenched camp were finally sent under escort to Fort Edward. After this campaign, the regiment numbered some 627 men.

In 1758, the regiment took part in the amphibious expedition against Louisbourg. On June 8, when Amherst's army landed near Louisbourg, the regiment was part of the centre brigade under James Wolfe. Between June and July, the regiment took part in the siege of Louisbourg which surrendered on July 27. After the capture of the fortress, the regiment was assigned to a detachment under lord Rollo who submitted Isle Saint-Jean (today Prince Edward Island) and tried to remove the inhabitants, with small success; for out of more than 4,000, they could catch but 700.

In 1759, the regiment took part to the amphibious expedition against Quebec. It belonged to colonel Murray's brigade. On June 27, the army landed on Isle-d'Orléans and were drawn up on the beach near the village of Saint-Laurent. On July 31, the grenadiers of the regiment took part in the failed attack on the shores of Beauport, suffering heavy losses in the fight (25 officers and men killed and 3 missing). On September 13, the regiment took part in the victorious battle on the Plains of Abraham where it was deployed on the right flank. It faced the Royal Roussillon battalion which it charged at bayonet point, broke and captured its colours. The regiment lost 6 dead and 35 wounded. Québec finally surrendered on September 18. At the end of October, when vice-admiral Saunders left with his fleet for Great Britain, the regiment, whose ranks had been replenished to about 475 men by drafts from the 62nd Foot and 69th Foot, remained as garrison in Québec along with 9 other battalions.

On April 28 1760, at the defeat of Sainte-Foy, the regiment was kept in reserve in rear of the centre. It intervened to prevent a French flanking movement and lost 13 dead and 48 wounded. On July 12, Murray reorganised his army. The grenadiers of the regiment were converged with other into a Grenadier Battalion while 4 fusilier companies were converged with four companies of the 60th Foot into a distinct unit. These units embarked on bateaux and moved upstream on the Saint-Laurent River pacifying the villages on their way. The whole force was part of a three pronged attack against Montréal under general Amherst (the other two being via Oswego or Ticonderoga/Crown Point/Lake Champlain). On September 8, in face of vastly superior forces, the remains of the French army capitulated at Montréal.

In 1761, the regiment remained inactive in North America for most of the year. In November, it was among the British army which left New York under command of general Monckton to join the expedition against the French islands of the the West Indies. On December 24 1761, this force arrived in Carlisle Bay in Barbados.

On January 5 1762, the entire British amphibious expedition left Barbados and sailed for the intended expedition against Martinique island where it landed on January 16 near Fort Royal. A few days later, on January 20, the "flank" companies of the regiment took part to an action against the French who finally retreated into the town. The regiment lost 4 dead and 17 wounded. On January 27, the French entrenched at Morne Grenier suddenly debouched in 3 columns and launched an attack upon Haviland's brigade and the light infantry of the army, on Monckton's left. The grenadiers of the regiment were among the converged grenadier units who repulsed the attack and counter-attacked, penetrating the French positions. The regiment lost 4 wounded in this action. Fort Royal surrendered on February 3. By February 12, the rest of the Island had been reduced. In March, Monckton was ordered to launch an expedition against Cuba. On April 25, a fleet from Great Britain reached Fort Royal on the recently conquered island of Martinique where it picked up the remainder of major-general Robert Monckton still numbering 8,461 men. On June 6, the British force came into sight of Havana. On June 7, the British troops were landed to the northward of Havana. On June 22, 4 British batteries totaling 12 heavy guns and 38 mortars opened fire on Fort Morro from La Cabana. The fort resisted until July 30 when the 90th Regiment of Foot along with 4 companies of the 35th Regiment of Foot stormed the crumbling fort. On August 13, Havana capitulated. During the siege of Havana, the regiment lost 21 all ranks killed, 28 wounded while 17 died of disease.

In 1763, after the peace, the regiment was transferred to Pensacola in Florida.

Regiments / 76th Regiment of Foot MacDonald's Highlanders (EU recruting)
« on: October 23, 2013, 03:31:10 am »

The 76th is a European Line Infantry. The 76th is a disciplined, well organised Line infantry regiment, which pushes it's players to be the best they can be. Nothing in the 76th is mandatory, thought we expect you to show up now and again. Each member is valued, each member has a place, like a well oiled machine we work as a team.

History


The 76th Regiment of Foot was originally raised as Lord Harcourt's Regiment on 17 November 1745 and disbanded in June 1746. Following the loss of Minorca to the French, it was raised again in November 1756 as the 61st Regiment, but renumbered to 76th, by General Order in 1758, and again disbanded in 1763. A second battalion raised by that regiment in October 1758, for service in Africa, was renumbered as the 86th Regiment and also disbanded in 1763. On 25 December 1777 the 76th was again re-raised as the 76th Regiment of Foot (Macdonald's Highlanders) by Colonel John MacDonell of Lochgarry, in the West of Scotland and Western Isles, as a Scottish Light Infantry regiment. It was disbanded at Stirling Castle in March 1784. The regiment was again raised for service in India by the Honorable East India Company in 1787.

In 1881 the 76th Regiment, which shared the same Depot in Halifax as the 33rd (Duke of Wellington's) Regiment, was linked to the 33rd, under the Childers Reforms, to become the regiment's 2nd Battalion. Although retitled as the Halifax Regiment (Duke of Wellington's) this title only lasted six months until it was changed on 30 June 1881, in a revised appendix to General order 41, to: The Duke of Wellington's (West Riding Regiment), or 'W Rid R' for short. In January 1921 it was again retitled The Duke of Wellington's Regiment (West Riding), or 'DWR' for short. On 6 June 2006 the 'Dukes' were amalgamated with the Prince of Wales's Own Regiment of Yorkshire and The Green Howards, all Yorkshire-based regiments in the King's Division, to form the Yorkshire Regiment.

During 1745 13 provincial 'foot regiments and two horse regiments, the 67th to the 79th, were raised by the nobility of England for service in the Jacobite Rebellions in Scotland. Lord Harcourt raised the 76th and as was the custom at that time named it Lord Harcourt's Regiment. Despite initial resistance by senior regular officers he and the other members of the nobility who raised the regiments each received regular commissions as colonels in the army. The 76th, along with 10 others, was disbanded on 10 June 1746, when their services were no longer required. The soldiers were given a bounty of only six days pay, to encourage them to enlist into other regular regiments.

The regiment was raised again in 1756 for service in the Seven Years' War and disbanded in 1763, although little is known about this period in the regiments' history.

The 76th Regiment of Foot (MacDonald's Highlanders), sometimes referred to as 'MacDonnell's Highlanders' after its colonel, John MacDonnell of Lochgarry, was a Scottish Light Infantry regiment raised in the west of Scotland and western isles of Scotland on 25 December 1777, by the Clan MacDonald. It consisted of seven companies of Highlanders: two of Lowlanders and an Irish company.

It was presented with its colours at Inverness in March 1778 and moved into barracks at Fort George. In March 1779 it moved to Perth where, following a dispute over their pay and bounty payment, soldiers from the regiment took part in the Burntisland mutiny of March 1779, whilst under the command of Major John Sinclair, 11th Earl of Caithness (Lord Berridale), after which it was transferred to Jersey in the Channel Islands and embarked for New York in August 1779.

The regiment campaigned from March 1781, under the command of Major Francis Needham, 1st Earl of Kilmorey (who was also the regimental Colonel of the 86th Foot) in the American Revolutionary War at Petersburgh, Portsmouth and Osborne's Hill in the Battle of Brandywine. The regiment was captured in the Siege of Yorktown seven months later in October. It was split up and the troops were interned at various locations throughout Virginia. Following the end of the war, in 1783, it returned to Scotland and was commanded by Sir Robert Stuart. The regiment was finally disbanded at Stirling Castle in March 1784.
