4th (King's Own) Regiment of Foot

The 4th Regiment of Foot

"...these troops (4thRoF) are brave men that have been tempered in the blood, sweat and fire of their many victorious skirmishes, sieges of near impregnable forts and open field warfare. These men are enthusiastic and patriotic, and especially fierce in combat, due to their long, proud history and high standards in training and discipline."

Regiment History - Website[www.britishempire.co.uk]
A second regiment of foot was raised for the defence of Tangier on 13th July 1680, under the Colonelship of the Earl of Plymouth. The first regiment later became the 2nd Queen's Royal Regiment of Foot and the second regiment later became the 4th King's Own.
The siege of Namur, under King William III, in July and August of 1795 caused the regiment to lose well over 100 officers and men but gave the regiment it's first battle honour. William showed his recognition of their service to him by giving the regiment the lion badge as their emblem.

Whilst on duty at Windsor in 1715 the regiment must have impressed George I because he conferred on them the title King's Own.
