Early in the spring of 1710 the regiment embarked for Flanders, to join the allied army in that country under the celebrated John, Duke of Marlborough; it advanced up the country to the vicinity of Tournay, and afterwards took part in the movements by which the French lines were forced at Pont-à-Vendin.
When the siege of Douay was undertaken, the NINETEENTH regiment was one of the corps selected to take part in this service. Some severe fighting took place in carrying on the attacks, and in storming the outworks, in which the regiment was engaged, and sustained severe loss. On the 25th of June the garrison beat a parley, and afterwards surrendered the fortress.
The NINETEENTH regiment had three serjeants and ninety-one rank and file killed at the siege of Douay; and one major, two captains, eight subalterns, ten serjeants, and one hundred and ninety-seven rank and file wounded.
