SCOTLAND and the BRITISH ARMY C.1700-C.1750
SCOTLAND AND THE BRITISH ARMY c.1700-c.1750 By VICTORIA HENSHAW A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The historiography of Scotland and the British army in the eighteenth century largely concerns the suppression of the Jacobite risings – especially that of 1745-6 – and the growing assimilation of Highland soldiers into its ranks during and after the Seven Years War. However, this excludes the other roles and purposes of the British army, the contribution of Lowlanders to the British army and the military involvement of Scots of all origin in the British army prior to the dramatic increase in Scottish recruitment in the 1750s. This thesis redresses this imbalance towards Jacobite suppression by examining the place of Scotland and the role of Highland and Lowland Scots in the British army during the first half of the eighteenth century, at a time of change fuelled by the Union of 1707 and the Jacobite rebellions of the period.

A framework was established to show how Highlanders were deployed by the English between 1745 and 1815 as a way of eradicating radical Jacobite elements from the Scottish Highlands and utilizing their supposed natural superiority in combat.

42Nd Band Tartan C1820
42nd Regiment Band or Musicians’ Tartan Introduction Regimental Bands have been part of Highland Regiments since the late 18th century; however, they, unlike pipers, were not part of the official regimental establishment until later. Until shortly after Waterloo (1815) bandsmen wore the standard regimental uniform and were accounted for in the muster rolls as rank and file (but noted as musicians) and fought as soldiers. For reasons that are not clear the Band of Music, as it was known, went to white jackets in the 1820’s and sometime after were clothed in a red tartan. A variety of tartans were used by various regimental bands until they became part of the official establishment in the 1850s, at which time they generally adopted either the regimental, or the Royal Stewart tartan. The Band Tartan In their 1819 Key Pattern Book the weaving firm Wm. Wilson & Son of Bannockburn include the following comment under their instructions for the 42nd Regiment tartan: To make the band or musicians Plaids you have only to put Scarlet in place of the Black in the Sergts Plaids. The band and the Sergeants' are of the same quality. The effect of replacing the black of the Government tartan (commonly called the Black Watch) to make this ‘red’ sett is shown below (Plate 1). The resulting blue, green and red tartan is striking and makes the blue appear dominant compared with the standard 42nd setting. Plate 1. The 42nd or Government tartan and colour change to form the Band or Music tartan. © The Author Wilsons’ details for the Sergeants’ plaids show that the Band tartan was woven 26 inches wide with ‘……3 half Setts and so much of the 4th until all the green in it is put on after which conclude with the red selvedge mark’.

AT the present time, when so many histories of regiments I in existence are being written, I have been induced to set down one with a dealing Highland corps long since dis- banded and the force to which it belonged wellnigh forgotten. The services rendered to their country by the Fencibles throw an interesting sidelight on a critical period of British >ry, 'when wars with France were frequent, and the ambition of Napoleon threatened to overwhelm every country in and Europe, reduce them to the domination of France" Raised for the most in part Scotland, these corps, which were m reality regular but for the troops internal protection the country an only, played important part in the defence of our islands, of worthy more notice than has hitherto been accorded them. The limited service of the Fencibles, debarring them as from participating in the events stirring then passing Europe, has led to many believe that their life was in uneventful onsequence and not worthy of notice.

The ships had been blown off course by a gale off of Cape Hatteras. Two horses were on board, along with the gear for forty more horses, which was all thrown overboard. Once Whipple saw the approaching British fleet he quickly returned to Charlestown and alerted General Lincoln. The Charlestown Bar was a shallow sand bar from where the rivers emptied into the ocean. It was only four feet deep at points. To navigate around the Bar ships would have to go through narrow channels in the Bar and then sail up another channel, while being under the guns of Fort Moultrie. The Bar was the first line of defense for Charlestown against any naval attacks. Lincoln wanted Whipple to defend the Bar, but Whipple said that it couldn’t be done because it was too shallow to allow maneuver room. Three days later, during another reconnaissance, the Royal Navy chased both of the American ships back into Charlestown harbor. This was the last time the Continental ships left Charlestown harbor.1 Fort Johnson, South Carolina Charlestown Campaign 14 – 16 February 1780 The British were not having much success in the northern theater.

General Military Regiments of Foot. a Historical Record of All the Foot
www.GetPedia.com Also by H. L. Wickes REGIMENTS OF HORSE H.L. WICKES Regiments of Foot A historical record of all the foot regiments of the British Army OSPREY This book is dedicated to the memory of my eldest son, the late Captain Christopher Wickes, R.E. Published in 1974 by Osprey Publishing Ltd., 137 Southampton Street Reading, Berkshire © Copyright 1974 H. L. Wickes All rights reserved Printed in Great Britain by The Camelot Press Ltd, Southampton ISBN o 85045 220 1 PREFACE In no way does this small book claim to be a history of the British Army: such a subject would necessitate many large volumes. Nor does it comprise a complete record of the memorable battles and campaigns in which the various regiments have been engaged. Rather, it is in the nature of a search for an answer to the question, 'What became of the regiments of foot?' The last few years have seen the disappearance of many famous regiments, due to amalgamations and the formation of new 'large' regiments. I have endeavoured here to give a brief history of each of the numbered regiments, from its initial establishment to the present-day formation, touching in each case on its origins, traditions, service record and, where appropriate, its most famous engagements. It is said that battles are the punctuation marks of a regiment's history. Up to about 1750, a regiment when raised was usually named after some royal personage or after the commanding officer. It was in 1743 that the rank or number of regiments was first confirmed by Royal Warrant.
