Notable Officers
Lord Grey of Groby
Colonel Henry Grey
(Lieutenant Colonel 09/02/44 - 22/09/44;1) Colonel 04/04/45 - 25/08/46.2) His service as Colonel is stated as having been in Lincolnshire. This suggests that we may be maybe dealing with two different regiments.In fact it appears Grey took over Colonel Thomas Rainsborough’s Regiment of Foot and that Spring is mistaken in giving this to Col James Grey)
