Leaving Plymouth in March, 1686, the regiment occupied quarters at Guildford and Godalming until the 24th of May, when it pitched its tents on Hounslow-heath, where a numerous body of troops was assembled for exercise and review. At this camp the regiment had an independent company of grenadiers attached to it, and after the reviews it marched into garrison at Portsmouth.
