Description
𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐕𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐘 𝑁𝑒𝑚𝑜 𝑚𝑒 𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑢𝑛𝑒 𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑡. The 42nd Regiment of Foot was a result of the Jacobite Uprising of 1715, Independent Highlander Companies ("Black Watch") were raised as militia in 1725 by General Wade. In 1751, they received their name, the 42nd (Highlander) Regiment of Foot. In 1809, the 42nd partook in the Retreat to Corunna, and it was a soldier of the Black Watch that carried the mortally wounded Sir John Moore. The Black Watch took a successful defensive victory that day and fought at Ciudad Rodrigo, Salamanca, Vitoria, the Pyrenees, Nivelle, the Nive, Orthez, and Toulouse. At Waterloo, they took a decisive victory at Quarte-B and saw heavy action two days in the main battle. 𝐂𝐀𝐏: UNCAPPED
