The 77th Regiment of Foot (Duke Cambridges Own, Recruiting)
« on: February 21, 2015, 05:38:27 am »
In 1787 tensions in India between Britain and France were high and the East India Company decided to raise four regiments to defend its interests there. However, by the time the regiments had been raised, the threat of war had passed and the Company refused to pay for them. The British Army therefore took them on strength.

One of the four regiments was the 77th Foot (though it had no link to the two previous line regiments of highlanders with that number). The regiment landed in Bombay a year after its formation. This began a 19-year stay in India, including the Maratha and Mysore Wars, time in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and Goa, and service with the ‘Forlorn Hope’ at the 1799 storming of Seringapatam.

In 1807 the regiment returned to Britain and in the same year the county association for East Middlesex was switched from the 39th Foot to the 77th. Two years later it took part in the abortive landings at Walcheren in the Low Countries and in 1811 it joined the Peninsular War (1808-14). It served until the end of the campaign and was one of the three regiments that stormed the breach at Ciudad Rodrigo.

After a brief spell in Britain and Ireland, in 1857 it sailed to New South Wales and then India. Returning to Britain in 1870, it became the first British regiment to travel through the Suez Canal.

In 1876 the regiment moved to Ireland for four years and incorporated ‘The Duke of Cambridge’s Own’ into its title. It then returned to India in 1880. A year after its arrival, it was amalgamated with the 57th Regiment of Foot to form The Duke of Cambridge’s Own (Middlesex Regiment).






Requirements

Behavior
The 77th Regiment of Foot was formed February 7th, 2015, with the intention of having an enjoyable experience in a small line.
However, we require our members to show discipline while playing to reduce the likelyhood of us having a 'trolling' reputation.
We do not tolerate Teamkilling during practices, line battles, or similar events.
Discipline
I have stated this many times, we do not condone various acts.
All should be quite obvious. You are expected to follow and understand orders given to you by your commander at that current time.
We also suggest to not post anything derogatory against a group of people in global chat or even team chat during games.

In the 77th we require you to attend 2/3 of  the mandatory events

Good Luck
Arminius/Dennis Bergkamp/Tristan Bouvier/J.P. ...

All my life I’ve been fearful of defeat. But now that it has come it’s not near as terrible as I’d expected. The sun still shines, water still tastes good…glory is all well and good but life is enough, nay?
