	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment)
		The regiment's name comes from the extremely dark tartan that they wear; 'Black Watch' was originally just a nickname for the 42nd (Royal Highland) Regiment of Foot, but was used more and more so that, in 1881, when the 42nd amalgamated with the 73rd Foot, the new regiment was named 'The Black Watch (Royal Highlanders)'.
		The regiment was involved in the defeat of George Washington in the Battle of Long Island.
		It was a matter of great pride to the 42nd Regiment that it was designated a "Royal" regiment in 1758 for its distinguished battle record, prior to the battle of Carillon (Ticonderoga) and at the time of the battle the Regiment had not received notice of the honor.

		The Royal Irish Artillery’s involvement in the American War for Independence, although brief, was a part of the largest Artillery campaign to-date in North America.
