He was then killed at the Battle of Aughrim in 1691. After the Treaty of Limerick in 1691 the regiment transferred to the service of the kings of France under its present name. It was next commanded in France by Theobalds younger son Colonel Arthur Dillon until 1733. As a part of the Irish Brigade this regiment covered itself in glory at the battle of Fontenoy in 1745. It was reinforced by a merger with the regiment de Lally in 1762 and with the regiment de Bulkeley in 1775. From 1777 to 1782 the Dillon regiment fought as part of the French expeditionary force in the American Revolutionary War. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles During 1960, the delegation of the Naga Peoples Convention put forward a proposal for a separate regiment to fulfill their desire of playing a greater role in the Defence Forces of India. First Battalion (1 Naga) of the Regiment was raised at the Kumaon Regimental Centre, Ranikhet on 01 November 1970 under the command of Lt. Col. R.N. Mahajan, VSM. Being the only battalion, it was then designated as the NAGA Regiment. The manpower to raise this battalion was provided by battalions of Kumaon, Garhwal and Gorkha (3 Gokrha Rifles) regiments. 69 Nagas were enrolled directly from rehabilitation camps of underground Nagas. However, the Regiment was to comprise 50 Nagas and 50 of an equal number of Kumaoni, Garhwali and Gorkhas. Since many Kumaon battalions had been associated with Nagaland, particularly in the years preceding the raising of the Naga Regiment, it was affiliated to the Kumaon Regiment for all regimental matters. The second battalion (2 Naga) was raised on 11 February 1985 at Haldwani. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Persimmon regiment was a term used during the American Civil War to describe a regiment that, in its history, stopped marching for a brief while to consume persimmons, a type of fruit popular in the Southern United States. Three different regiments in the Union army acquired the nickname. The 73rd Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment gained the nickname in 1862. While marching from Crab Orchard, Kentucky, as the regiment progressed to Nashville, Tennessee, many of the troops would make the first act after making camp for the night to search for a persimmon grove and raid it, even before making coffee or setting tents. This practice also occurred around the Battle of Mill Springs. The 35th Ohio Infantry gained the nickname due to fifteen of their number being captured by the Confederate Army in December 1861 in a skirmish where, instead of fighting the Confederacy, the Ohioans instead chose to find persimmons.

The Duke of Wellingtons Regiment (West Riding) was an infantry regiment of the British Army, forming part of the Kings Division. In 1702 Colonel George Hastings, 8th Earl of Huntingdon, was authorised to raise a new regiment, which he did in and around the city of Gloucester. As was the custom in those days the regiment was named Huntingdons Regiment after its Colonel. As Colonel succeeded Colonel the name changed, but in 1751 regiments were given numbers, and the regiment was from that time officially known as the 33rd Regiment of Foot. In 1782 the regiments title was changed to the 33rd (or First Yorkshire West Riding) Regiment, thus formalising an association with the West Riding of Yorkshire which, even then, had been long established.

Movie About First African-American Navy/Marine Regiment?
Have any of you ever seen that movie about the first African-American Navy regiment based on true events. In the beginning the grandson of one of the men comes across a photo or something of his grandpa. I really loved it but I can't remember the name of it! It was after the Civil War. I think maybe the name of the ship they were on was the Mason or something. I do remember one part where they went to Ireland if that helps.
