    2011 Issue 13 Autumn 2011 Registered Charity THE LION AND THE DRAGON No 271943 NEWSLETTER The Newsletter of the Friends of Cumbria’s Military Museum The Border Regiment, King’s Own Royal Border Regiment & Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment 2011 The 200th Anniversary of the Battle of Arroyo- dos-Molinos 1811 “Arroyo-dos-Molinos” is the unique Battle Honour awarded for an action in the Peninsula War to the 34th (Cumberland) Regiment of Foot, later to become the 1st Battalion The Border Regiment in 1881 and The King‟s Own Royal Border Regiment in 1959. On 28th October 1811, the 34th (Cumberland) Regiment as part of General Hill‟s forces attacked the French forces of General Girard at the village of Arroyo-dos- Molinos in Spain. As British forces drove them from the village the 28th and 34th Foot had been sent to cut off their retreat by the main road. During the pursuit the 34th fought their French opposite number the 34ème Régiment d‟Infanterie, took many of them prisoner together with their Colonel, Prince D‟Aremberg, and General De Brun and captured their property including six side-drums and the Drum-Major‟s Staff. The latter was personally wrested from the Drum-Major by Sergeant Moses Simpson of the 34th‟s Grenadier Company. The Regiment was afterwards allowed to commemorate this brilliant exploit by wearing in their shakos a red and white tuft or plume, which matched one worn by one of the French 34th‟s companies. In 1845 Her Majesty Queen Victoria at the request of the Duke of Wellington th granted the 34 the unique Battle Honour Arroyo dos Molinos.

  • THE 24Th REGIMENTS LINKS with the COUNTY of WARWICKSHIRE
    THE 24th REGIMENT’S LINKS WITH THE COUNTY OF WARWICKSHIRE. A revision of the article of the same name from the Journal of the Anglo Zulu War Historical Society, June 1997. (Inaugural Edition). By Derrick Smart __________________________________________________________________________________ ‘Regiments are raised in troubled times’. The birth of the 24th Regiment was in accordance with this dictum. In the early months of 1689 William and Mary newly arrived from Holland, reigned uneasily over a country still recovering from James II’s determined bid to regain the throne of England in the revolution of 1688. That revolution led to war with Louis X1V’s France (Louis had championed the ill-fated James); and to fight the war it was necessary to provide troops. King William as was the custom of the times, sent off Commissions to the noblemen and landowners who supported his cause. One such Commission went to Sir Edward Dering, 3rd Baronet, of Surrenden in Kent. The Commission was acted upon at once. It was dated 8th March 1689 and by 28th March, the first muster was held and Dering’s Regiment became part of the Standing Army and thereafter named after the Colonel (1). The Royal Warrant of 1st July 1751 listing precedence gave the Regiment seniority as the 24th Regiment of Foot. The 24th formed a 2nd Battalion in Lincolnshire in 1756, which was used in 1758 to form the 69th Regiment of Foot. In 1782 they were re-titled as the 69th (South Lincolnshire) Regiment of Foot. The 24th Regiment’s 2nd Battalion was re-formed in Warwick in 1804 being disbanded in 1814.
