I just bloody love history...
May. 2nd, 2010 09:11 pmI ran my siege of Limerick game again today for the local club. Getting it pretty well tuned...
One of the regiments that plays a part in the battle is Sir Piercy (or Percy) Kirke's Regiment of Foot, aka the Queen's Regiment of Foot, which later became the 2nd Foot [now the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment (Queen's and Royal Hampshires), senior English infantry regiment and holder of the oldest battle honour in the Army :Tangier, 1662: which goes back to Kirke's, which was the garrison regiment in Tangier]. ( it just gets long and rambly after this, trust me )
