36TH (HEREFORDSHIRE) REGIMENT OF FOOT

The '36th (Herefordshire) Regiment of Foot' was an infantry regiment of the British Army, formed in 1701 and amalgamated into The Worcestershire Regiment in 1881.
The regiment was raised by General William Caulfeild, 2nd Viscount Charlemont in May 1701; it was the successor to a previous regiment raised by Charlemont in 1694 for Irish service. In 1751, they were numbered the '36th Regiment of Foot', and in 1782 took a county title as the '36th (Herefordshire) Regiment of Foot'.
