 History
The 1st Battalion The Essex Regiment, or 44th Regiment of Foot, was one of seven additional regiments of infantry ordered to be formed in 1740 to augment the Regular Army during the War of the Austrian Succession.
Uniform clothing for soldiers was well established at the time the Regiment was raised, and the subsequent modifications in costume were those usual according to the various regulations for the "marching regiments" of Foot.
During the long period (from about 1770 to 1855), when infantry regiments were distinguished by the shape and spacing of the "loops," or bars of lace, across the front of their coats, the 44th wore square-ended loops at equal distances.
