very cool I've read about some of these line and they have the potential to be guard or elite units like the french braves/terribles. For example i believe the 27th Inniskillings were and Irish regiment first brought together to fight in the Jacobite Rising. After loosing many of their men in the West Indies they recruited from Yorkshire. The 27th participated in battles in the British Isles, Flanders and extensively in the Americas. Then they joined Wellesley and fought countless times under his command in Spain, and they were even awarded medals by the Duke himself for their bravery and holding his center during the battle
