Historical Record of the Twentieth or the East Devonshire Regiment of Foot

By Richard Cannon

London, Parker, Furnivall, Parker (1848) xxxvi, 79pp., 3 plates.

Index prepared by Michael Steer

The 20th, East Devonshire Regiment was formed in 1688 in Devon under Sir Richard Peyton as Peyton's Regiment of Foot. The regiment's name changed according to the name of the colonel commanding until 1751, when it became the 20th Regiment of Foot. It served in the Glorious Revolution under King William III and at the Battle of the Boyne in July 1690 and Aughrim in 1691. During the War of Spanish Succession (1701-1714), it aided in the capture of Spanish galleons at Battle of Vigo Bay in 1702. The regiment distinguished itself at the Battle of Dettingen in June 1743, and at Fontenoy in May 1745, and served in the Battle of Culloden in April 1746. During the Seven Years' War the regiment earned honour at the Battle of Minden on 1 August 1759, when, as an infantry formation, the men stood up to and broke a French cavalry charge. The regiment was sent to Quebec in April 1776 and assisted in the relief of Quebec in May 1776. Serving under General John Burgoyne for the remainder of the Canadian campaign, they later surrendered along with General Burgoyne at Saratoga.The book, held as part of the Columbia University Library Collection, was the bequest of William Bancroft, was produced from a digital copy that can be downloaded from http://books.google.co.uk/books, with a search by either author or title.
