Notes
A mysterious regiment, may not have really existed. The only known information is that Colonel Bluet helped take Hemioch Castle, then was killed at the siege of Lyme Regis. His regiment are more likely to have been horse than foot as the foot at Lyme are well-recorded, but the horse aren’t. This could well be wrong however.
It was a foot regiment. I'll add details when you've changed to Regiment of Foot. It was formerly Shapcotts Trained Band.
