The Regiment was raised in Devonshire, Somerset, and Dorsetshire.

It captured the Drums of the 11th French Infantry at Flushing; and a Green Standard without an Eagle from the French at Salamanca, where it was nearly cut to pieces, and was nicknamed accordingly “The Bloody Eleventh.”

It is not known when the facings were changed to Green.
