39th (Dorsetshire) Regiment of Foot

[2] It saw action at the Battle of La Gudina in May 1709[3] and then remained in Portugal until 1713 when it embarked for Gibraltar and then moved to Menorca later in the year.[6] The regiment served as marines from March 1744 to September 1746 when it took part in the Raid on Lorient during the War of the Austrian Succession.[1] The regiment participated in a task force under Major-General John Whyte to capture the Dutch settlements of Demerara, Essequibo, and Berbice in April and May 1796.[25] The battalion was then posted to North America for service in the War of 1812[26] and took part in the Battle of Plattsburgh in September 1814[27] before returning to England in July 1815.[31] It saw action at various skirmishes in spring 1834 during the Coorg War[32] and at the Battle of Maharajpore in December 1843 during the Gwalior campaign.
