Humphreys. 35s. net.)-Tho regiment came into existence in 1689, when the struggle between James II. and the Irish Protestants was going on. Its actual founder was Sir Albert Conyngham. The regiment suffered severely at Collooney in 1691, when its commander was killed. In 1708 it was sent to Scotland. It fought at Sheriffmnir, not with much success. It did better at Dettingen, and distinguished itself at Waterloo and in the Crimea, served in India, and in South Africa in both of the campaigns. Major Jackson tells its story in sufficient detail, and gives all particulars as to pay, accoutrements, discipline, uniform, &c.
