We as a regiment, hope to become one of the best light infantry regiments in-game, aswell as living up to the standards of the old 51st Regiment that we take our name from. The regiment's foundations will be built on comradery and banter and by god we won't forget it! Even when we're hammering french dogs with our perfectly aimed shots or slaughtering those pesky Russians in melee. We understand you have a life! but we do expect you to turn up when you can and when you do turn up, giving 110% of effort. We thank you for reading this thread, and if you decide to join, we hope that you enjoy your time here as we plan to make it a milestone in your gaming history.

The 51st was formed in 1755 for service during the Seven Years' War. Originally numbered the 53rd, Napiers, Regiment of Foot, and bearing the name of its colonel, Robert Napier, it was re-numbered in 1757, with the name of its new colonel, as 51st Brudenells Regiment. In 1759 they saw action at the battle of Minden, which later became their first battle honour. Following the war, the 51st had garrison duty in Ireland and Minorca, acquiring their county association in 1783 as the 51st (2nd Yorkshire West Riding) Regiment.
The regiment was at Gibraltar at the start of the French Revolutionary Wars and in 1795 they were in Corsica at the siege of Calvi.
In 1803-05 it took part in the Kandyan Wars in Sri Lanka.
In 1808 the 51st became a Light Infantry regiment and took part in Peninsular War, where they fought in every major actio n earning battle honors such as the Peninsula battle honor, Corunna (1809), Salamanca (1812), Vitoria (1813), Pyrenees (1813), Nivelles (1813), Orthez (1814). Following Napoleon's escape from Elba in 1815, they fought in the Battle of Waterloo.
