In the mean time a revolution had taken place in France, where the destructive principles of democracy had overthrown all legitimate authority, divested the sovereign of regal power, and threatened to involve Europe in war. Under these circumstances the British army was augmented, and five men and horses were added to each troop of the Thirteenth Light Dragoons.
1793
The French republicans having added to their numerous atrocities the decapitation of their sovereign, war commenced in 1793, and the establishment of the Thirteenth Light Dragoons was further augmented.
After the inspection in October, the regiment changed its quarters to Belturbet and Sligo. It was called upon to furnish thirty-six mounted men to complete the cavalry regiments augmenting for foreign service.
