In 1757 it was renamed the 51st Regiment (Brudenell's).Raised in the West Riding of Yorkshire, it has had the strongest possible association with that area ever since, becoming the 51st (2nd Yorkshire, West Riding) Regiment in 1782.It was in the Seven Years’ War (1756-63) that, at the Battle of Minden (1759), the Regiment gained its first, and perhaps most well known, battle honour. The victory at Minden is celebrated every year on 1st August when white roses are worn in the headdress, symbolising the roses allegedly plucked by soldiers of the Regiment at Minden. |
From 1771 to 1782 the 51st Regiment of Foot was in Minorca and it was there in 1777 that the young Ensign John Moore joined them. After service in Ireland, Gibraltar and Corsica the 51st returned to England for a brief stay before embarking for Spain in 1807.The Regiment distinguished itself at Lugo and Corunna and, in tribute to their former commander General Sir John Moore and recognition of their involvement, the 51st was formed into a Light Infantry Corps in 1809 which was officially confirmed in a letter from Horse Guards on 2nd May 1809:"His Majesty had been pleased to approve of the 51st Regiment being immediately formed into a Light Infantry Corps upon the same plan as the 43rd, 52nd, 68th, 71st and 85th regiments". | (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1359.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq795%2FJanquers%2FAdmiral_Sir_John_Moore_zps9f5cca28.png&hash=427d7a99966c225125f506c10b4312cfee21c465) |

The Commanding Officer, Colonel Mitchell, was appointed to command the 4th Brigade in which the 51st was destined to fight at the Battle of Waterloo.The 51st was on the extreme right of the line and was engaged early in the battle when the French attacked Hougoumont Farm. The 51st were being responsible for preventing 100 French cuirassiers from escaping the field along the Nivelles Road.The 51st returned to England in January 1816 for a period of 5 years home service and in 1821 became the 51st (2nd Yorkshire West Riding) or "The King's Own" Light Infantry. |

I won't but hey giving he enlisted ranks actually help the more ranks the less they ask to be promoted:)

I still do not understand why you were so hellbent on having the 51st name.
And i want the 79thI still do not understand why you were so hellbent on having the 51st name.
1. It's a famous regiment.
2. It's in the game.
3. Charles wanted it before it was deemed retired.
1. FSE will be taking a step back from community altering decisions. In our pursuit of stopping an argument that had been made three times over the possession of the 51st name we rashly decided to remove the object that was contested, instead of punishing the ones who were breaking forum policy. Inadvertently we managed to punish the entire community by removing something that rightfully should have been theirs. For this, we apologize, and will now rectify. We will no longer withhold any regiment number, even if it proves a source of great controversy and fighting. We will no longer involve ourselves in this process. As such we will return it to the last community member that had possession of said regiment name.
And i want the 79th
Wow alot of drama about the name i created...True, so U IN A REG BRO???

I find it kind of funny, this whole "Regiment Retire" thing. Let's see how long this'll last before a disbandment.
Good luck...

All you done was crop should not have taken all night.
You are making a big deal of pretty much nothing, you have left the community but you seem to be around here alot.
Yes, but I spent a whole night on photoshop sorting through everything, so once you cut it out yourself you may use it. So please remove it. PM me if it's a problem.
And there's no "we" to it, Flash just made a rude comment.
Good luck!
I'm not getting involved but maybe if everyone left Edward alone he
Would leave them alone.
Good luck!

And maybe if everyone had left Hitler alone he wouldn't wouldn't have tried to conquer Europe... Great logic. He wants attention because nobody in real life loves him. I almost feel sorry for him.
