Some History
The 83rd was raised in 1793 by William Fitch, their colonel, in and around Dublin, for service in the French Revolutionary Wars.

Their first service was overseas, seeing action and garrison duty in the West Indies between 1795 and 1798. Following this they were returned to Europe, and fought under Wellington in the Peninsular campaign. In this they saw action at Talavera, Busaco, Badajoz and Salamanca. In 1815 they again served under Wellington in the Waterloo campaign, which saw the final defeat of Napoleon.

The 83rd was stationed in Canada from 1834 to 1843. During this time the 83rd was posted in Halifax 1834 through 1837, Quebec 1837, Montreal 1837, Kingston 1838 through 1843, and Quebec 1843. During this period the 83rd supplied detachments to London, St Thomas, and Amherstburg. The primary role of the 83rd while in Lower and Upper Canada was to maintain order during the Rebellion of 1837, and to repel invaders from the United States. A key engagement with rebels and invaders took place at the Battle of the Windmill 1838.
In the post-war colonial period the 83rd were stationed in India, and were engaged in the Sepoy rebellion of 1857.

In 1881 as part of the Childers Reforms the 83rd amalgamated with the 86th (Royal County Down) Regiment of Foot to become the 1st battalion, Royal Ulster Rifles.

Sorry but 27th already exists.

I changed it to 27th_Guard

Sorry mate, but we, the 27th foot, have been accuratelly portraying a battalion of the 27th since February and are very attached to the name of the 27th (Enniskillen) Foot, me being from within a few miles of Enniskillen itself.

Sorry, but can please think of a different name? as the 27th use the tags 27th_(Company)_(Rank)_(Name) (E.g 27th_GC_Pte_Ward) and this may cause confusion with yours for example "27th_Guard_Pte_Examplenamehere.
If you wish to use a historical name i can suggest some famous British regiment names(might i suggest the "The 83rd (County of Dublin) Regiment of Foot" if you interested in Irish Regiments like the 27th).
Or if your Particullary attached to the 27th name you can merge with us
I have added you on steam, please accept it so we may discuss this.


Lieutenant Colonel Griffin, Colonel Commanding of 1st battalion (We try to represent an Accurate battalion), 27th Foot.

please take a look at this and look at the posting dates:http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,217916.0.html
We have also moved to the Napoleonic Wars community if you would care to take a look:http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,222769.0.html

Please have a look around the community first on the Forums to see whether the regiment has already been formed (we formed in February).Please can you form another regiment
as yours is the same as ours.If you are to form another regiment, make sure you look through all the pages of regiments to make sure your chosen one has not already been formed and avoid another situation like this.

Yours,

Captain Jonny
Commanding Officer of the Grenadier company of the 27th Enniskillen Regiment of Foot.

Again, no offence, but we have had this name for months.
sorry for any inconvienience caused.
Please discuss this with me on Steam.
