Scotish 42.reg Grenadier
England

The Highlands of Scotland was a wild place in the 1700s, full of rebels, robbers and warring clans. To keep the peace, King George I in 1725 ordered the formation of six independant companies of Highland troops to act as a local police force. These companies quickly earned the nickname "the Black Watch" because of their dark tartans and their job of keeping watch on the Highlands. They did their work so well that, in 1739 the King ordered them to be formed into a regiment to serve in the army. In this way the Black Watch became the first Highland Scottish regiment in the British Army and began the distinguished career that continues to this day.
The regiment was originally numbered the 43rd and later renumbered the 42nd. The regiment first came to North America during the French and Indian War. It took part in the assault of Fort Ticonderoga in 1758 where it fought bravely in a costly defeat. Later in 1758 it became a Royal Regiment by order of King George II. It was then known as the Royal Highland Regiment and its soldiers wore the dark blue royal facings on their red coats.
After the severe losses at Ticonderoga, the 42nd did not have another major action until they were sent to relieve Fort Pitt in 1763 and help put down the rebellion of the Ottawa Chief, Pontiac. They spent the next few years on the frontier garrisoning small forts. They then left North America and were stationed in Ireland.
The regiment returned to North America during the Revolutinary War. It fought in the British Army's campaigns of 1776 through 1778. It fought in the battle of Long Island, New York, the battle of Brandywine, Pennsylvania and the battle of Monmouth Courthouse in New Jersey. For the remainder of the war, it spent the time moving about New York and New Jersey. Finally it was sent to help relieve Cornwallis at Yorktown, Virginia, but was never landed and returned to New York in October of 1781. The regiment remained in New York until September or October 1783 when it went to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
After both the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War, many soldiers of the 42nd Regiment settled in North America. The records show that many were granted land in Canada.
During the Revolutinary War, the Grenadier Company of the 42nd was often joined with grenadier companies from other regiments forming separate grenadier battalions.Women and children were included in the Royal Highland Regiment as official camp followers. The British Army allowed a few soldiers' wives to accompany their husbands overseas. The women were on half rations and the children we on one-third rations. As dependants of the army, they were subject to the rules and regulations of the army and to the orders of the regimental commander.

Lusitania dragoons Spain

Motto: "LUSITANIA TESSERA OMNI ARMATURA FORTIER"
This unit was born in Debember 21th, 1709, 300 years ago, when the king Felipe V admited the proposal made by the Count Pezuela de las Torres, to raise a regiment of dragoons, comprised of three squads, each of three companies, handing the title of Colonel of the Regiment, and giving its name, according to custom of the time. By decree it took the name "10º Regimiento de Dragones".
Along these centuries, the Regiment suffered some changes of name, from the first, Regimiento de Pezuela 20º de Dragones, to the current one, Regimiento de Caballería Ligera Nº8 Lusitania.
Among the many feats of arms that has participated in this Unit, along its long history, would highlight the following: the unit landed at Ceuta in 1720 to fight there against the Moroccan siege; in 1727 participated in one of the many sieges of Gibraltar; in 1744, at Madonna del Olmo; in 1776-78, in the South America campaing; and from there fight with equal distinction in later years, actively participating in the War of Independence (called by the british Peninsular War).
For his conduct at the Battle of Melazzo (Sicily), happened in the year 1718, was granted the privilege to use on the rumps of their horses and their scripts, a yellow badge as a sign of distinction, and the phrase "Lusitania with his banner can more that with all armor" (LUSITANIA TESSERA OMNI ARMATURA FORTIER).
For his heroic action at the Battle of Madonna del Olmo, which occurred on 30 September 1744, was honored with an emblem consisting of a skull and crossbones and a black tie for its standard.
On November 13, 1776, the Cavalry Regiment joined to the most important expedition that had sent the Reino de España (Kingdom of Spain) to its colonies in America. Its mision was re-take Sacramento, taken by the Portuguese. This goal was completed in March, 1777. The use of these riders from the Spanish Army in America changed everything then known in the art of war, providing them with mobility in reconnaissance, security and combat. This strategic advantage was reflected in the feats of arms, the Portuguese were defeated repeatedly. The brilliant performance of the regiment possible so resounding victory and was a more favorable negotiating the Treaty of San Ildefonso (1778).

Magyar Line Infantry
Austria, Hungary

When Maria Theresa came to the throne there were only 3 regular Hungarian infantry regiments forming part of the Austro-Hungarian armed forces. The Queen was popular in Hungary and recruiting was successful for the 1741 war, yet only 8 new Hungarian infantry regiments were raised. This was considerably short of the anticipated number, but difficulties arose since few Magyar recruits ,however enthusiastic they might be, wanted to be infantryman. In accordance with the national temperament all wanted to be hussars, of if they could not be cavarly ,then they preffered to join the FreiKorps or irregulars.
In the year 1746 the white coat was taken into use by Hungarian infantry ,usually with blue facings on the sleeve and the back of the collar and up to 1756 waistcoats and trousers were of different regimental colours, thereafter most were changed to blue as in this plate.From 1757 to about 1762 waistcoats and trousers were blue.The cost of the Hungarian Infantry was charged to the Hungarian Exchequer except that weapons,banners,drums and tents were provided from Austrian stocks. Except that did not wear gaiters and carried a hungarian-pattern sabre, the Hungarian equipment was ,therefore the same as that of the German.

4th Continental Light Dragoons
USA

The 4th Continental Light Dragoons also known as Moylan's Horse was raised on January 5, 1777 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for service with the Continental Army under Colonel Stephen Moylan. The regiment entered the history books by taking the field in captured British scarlet coats as noted in a letter from General George Washington to Colonel Moylan dated May 12, 1777, in which Moylan was directed to have his uniforms dyed to avoid confusion with British dragoons. The regiment changed to green coats faced in red during the summer of 1778, with black leather helmets in the style associated with Banastre Tarleton.
The regiment saw action at the Battle of Brandywine and the Battle of Germantown in their scarlet uniforms, and the Battle of Guilford Court House and the Battle of Yorktown in their more familiar green coats. The regiment was furloughed June 11, 1783 at Philadelphia and disbanded on November 15, 1783.

16th Light Dragoons reg.
England

In 1759 it was decided to follow the example of continental armies and form regiments of light cavalry as it was thought that this cheaper form of cavalry would be better suited to conduct vedette, reconnaissance, scouting and flank guard duties. Thus on the 4th of August 1759 Colonel Burgoyne was appointed commanding officer of the 16th Light Dragoons, a regiment to be raised in Northampton. He wrote his own recruiting poster, ending: "You will be mounted on the finest horses … Your society will be courted; You are admired by the Fair … Young men out of employment or uncomfortable … nick in instantly and enlist." The Regiment's first foreign deployment came in 1762 when they were embarked for Portugal with whom Britain was allied against the French and Spanish. The Regiment fought their first action at Valencia de Alcantara in Spain. Here Burgoyne commanded the Regiment and a mixed brigade of British and Portuguese infantry. In this action the allied troops surprised and defeated a numerically superior force capturing the commanding Spanish general, and destroying the Regiment of Seville. On their return to England the new Regiment found that they had gained a considerable reputation for their exploits. As a result in 1766 the Regiment was ,for the first time, designated as a Royal regiment being styled "16th The Queen's Light Dragoons"; adopting Queen Charlotte's cipher, which to this day is a constituent part of The Queen's Royal Lancers 'Queen's Badge'.
The American War of Independence 1775-83
The 16th Light Dragoons were one of the regiments sent to reinforce the American Garrison. The voyage to America took the Regiment three months in which both soldiers and their mounts lived in fetid conditions, landing in Halifax, Nova Scotia in October 1776. Notwithstanding the terrible conditions suffered during the voyage, the Regiment was in action within a week of disembarkation at the Battle of White Plains. The majority of the campaign was spent in pursuit of an elusive enemy. George Washington was well aware that his militia army was not a match for a regular army, he therefore fought a 'guerrilla style' war. As a result of American tactics, the cavalry were mainly employed in routine patrolling and garrison duties. The 16th returned to England in 1779 prior to the conclusion of the American War of Independence in 1783

Polish National Cavalry
Poland

The National cavalry (Polish: Kawaleria narodowa) was a branch of Polish cavalry in the Polish armed forces in the late 18th century. Formed as a merger of previously-existing units of Polish Hussars and pancerni that were still in service after the Confederation of Bar. In 1775 the Sejm disbanded all units of heavy cavalry and reformed them into a lighter formation, roughly similar to uhlans popular in Europe in 19th century. The National Cavalry was disbanded together with the rest of Polish armed forces after the final partition in 1795. The decision was part of the trend of evolution of European cavalry towards lighter, more mobile formations, a process that lasted until the World War I when the Cuirassiers abandoned their heavy armours. The uniforms of the National Cavalry also inspired numerous similar formations in Europe, notably the French cavalry of the Napoleonic Wars.Initially the national cavalry was divided onto four brigades (each numbering roughly 900 men-at-arms), two in the Crown of the Polish Kingdom and two in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The brigades were further composed of 96 banners altogether. On November 12, 1788 the Sejm increased the number of cavalrymen and since then the brigades were 3600 men strong. The division onto banners was also disbanded and replaced with a division onto squadrons. Each brigade was since then composed of 24 squadrons. Also in 1788 the Sejm disbanded all mercenary cavalry units (cavalry units of foreign origin) and reformed them into three regiments of Front Guard, also forming part of the national cavalry. Following this reform each squadron of National Cavalry was composed of four cug sub-units. The first cug in every squadron consisted of 32 former "towarzysz" Hussars, while the remaining four were composed of 32 former Pancerni cavalrymen. This allowed the unit to be fairly flexible, with the first cug used for break-through charges and the remaining three in supporting roles.
During the Kościuszko Uprising of 1794 additional units of National Cavalry were raised in various parts of Poland. Altogether, the government formed 12 brigades of national cavalry, 2 regiments of horse guard and 16 regiments of Front Guard. However, only a few of them ever reached the specified number of men-at-arms. The National Cavalry took part in several battles of the Russo-Polish war of 1792 and the Kościuszko Uprising.

Continental Marines
USA
(1. version, green with red - land unit / 2. version, green with white - naval units)

The Continental Marines were the Marine force of the American Colonies during the American Revolutionary War. The corps was formed by the Continental Congress in November 10, 1775 and was disbanded in 1783. Their mission was multi-purpose, but their most important duty was to serve as on-board security forces, protecting the Captain of a ship and his officers. During naval engagements Marine sharpshooters were stationed in the fighting tops of the ships' masts, and were supposed to shoot the opponent's officers, naval gunners, and helmsmen.
In all, there were 131 Colonial Marine officers and probably no more than 2,000 enlisted Colonial Marines.Though individual marines were enlisted for the few American naval vessels, the organization would not be re-created until 1798. Despite the gap between the disbanding of the Continental Marines and the current organization, the U.S. Marine Corps celebrates 10 November 1775 as its birthday.
Two battalions were initially intended for the planned invasion of Nova Scotia, the main British reinforcement point. In reality only one battalion was formed. Plans to form the second battalion were suspended indefinitely after several British regiments-of-foot and cavalry, supported by 3,000 Hessian mercenaries, landed in Nova Scotia, making the planned amphibious assault impossible. The Continental Marines' first and only Commandant was Captain Samuel Nicholas and the first Marine Barracks were located in Philadelphia. The first recruiting station was historically at meeting place called Tun Tavern. Recent discoveries may prove the actual tavern was nowhere near the original Tun Tavern.
Four additional Marine Security Companies were also raised and helped George Washington defend Philadelphia.
The Marines were used to conduct amphibious landings and raids during the American Revolution. They landed twice in Nassau, in the Bahamas, to seize naval stores from the British. The first landing, led by Captain Samuel Nicholas, consisted of 250 Marines and sailors who landed in New Providence, in the Bahamas; there they wreaked much damage and seized naval stores. The second landing, led by a Lieutenant Trevet, landed at night and captured several ships along with the naval stores.
Continental Marines landed and captured Nautilus Island and the Majabagaduce peninsula in the Penobscot Expedition. A Marine battalion also fought alongside the Continental Army in the Battle of Princeton. A group under Navy Captain James Willing left Pittsburgh, traveled down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, captured a ship and in conjunction with other Continental Marines brought by ship from the Gulf of Mexico raided British Loyalists on the shore of Lake Ponchartrain.

Queen's Rangers 1st American Reg
England

The origins of the Queen's Rangers lay in the French and Indian War (1756-1763), during which France and England fought for territories in the New World. At first, French-Canadian habitants and their Indian allies were quite effective by employing guerrilla tactics against the British regulars. To counter the French tactics, Robert Rogers raised companies of New England frontiersmen for the British and trained them in woodcraft, scouting, and irregular warfare, sending them on raids along the frontiers of French Canada as the Rogers' Rangers. The Rangers soon gained a considerable reputation, particularly in the campaigning in upstate New York around Fort Ticonderoga and Lake Champlain. They also launched a long-range raid to destroy Indian allies in the St. Lawrence valley; gained the first lodgement in the amphibious landings on Cape Breton to capture Louisberg, and took the surrender of the French outposts in the Upper Great Lakes at the conclusion of the war.
When the American War of Independence broke out in 1775, about fifty Loyalist regiments were raised, including the Butler's Rangers, the King's Royal Regiment, and the Maryland and Pennsylvania Loyalists. Robert Rogers again raised a unit, this time in New York (mostly from Loyalists living in Westchester and Long Island), from western Connecticut, and with men from the Queen's Loyal Virginia Regiment.[1] The new unit was named in honour of Queen Charlotte the wife of King George the Third. It first assembled on Staten Island in August 1776 and grew to 937 officers and men organized into eleven companies of about thirty men each and an additional five troops of cavalry. The unit immediately set about building fortresses and redoubts, including the one that stood at Lookout Place. Rogers did not prove successful in this command and he left the unit in May, 1777. The regiment suffered serious losses at Mamaroneck, Brandywine and Germantown until, on October 15, 1777, John Graves Simcoe was given command.
John Graves Simcoe turned the Queen's Rangers into one of the most successful British regiments in the war. They provided escort and patrol duty around Philadelphia (1777-8); fought in the Pennsylvania campaign; served as rearguard during the British retreat to New York (1778); fought the Stockbridge Militia in The Bronx (1778); fought at Perth Amboy, New Jersey, where Simcoe was captured but freed in a prisoner exchange three months later (1779-80); at Charlestown, South Carolina (1780); in the raid on Richmond, Virginia with Benedict Arnold and in other raids in Virginia (1780-1). The unit was interned at Yorktown. Parts of the unit stationed in New York merged into the King's American Dragoons. On May 2, 1779 the regiment was taken into the American establishment as the 1st American Regiment and was taken into the British establishment on December 25, 1782. In 1783, when the war was ended by the Treaty of Paris, the Queen’s Rangers left New York for Nova Scotia, where it was disbanded. Many of the men from the unit formed Queensbury, New Brunswick on land grants.
