	British Light Infantry Regiments
		The regiment was in Boston at the commencement of the dispute between the American Colonies and the mother country, and fought at Bunker's Hill, and in all the principal actions during the first three years of the War of Independence.
		The regiment was among the troops sent to the relief of Quebec at the outbreak of the American War, and served in the operations under Burgoyne down to the surrender of Saratoga.
		In 1755, the regiment went with reinforcements to North America, and was with Braddock in the disastrous attempt on Fort du Quesne, on the Ohio, and afterwards in the attacks on Ticonderoga and Fort Niagara, and in the expedition against Montreal.

	A Brief History of the Worcestershire Regiment
		The 29th Regiment of Foot was officially linked with the county of Worcestershire in 1782 to help recruiting, but as recruits so gained were often ordered elsewhere, as the Regiment was often abroad and rarely had its Depot in the county, there was little more than a formal connection for nearly a century.
		A much longer association with the city and county, however, was held by the Worcestershire Militia: though re-established in 1770, it had been involved in the Civil War and preparations to resist the Armada and, as part of the national Militia, had roots in Saxon times.
		Today, tangible reminders of the long-standing bond between City and Regiment remain: the Star Hotel took its name from the badge of the Worcestershire Regiment; and the New Worcestershire Soldier Exhibition will provide an attraction to visitors for many years to come as it is extended and developed by new research.

		Worcestershire was the site of the Battle of Evesham in which Simon de Montfort was killed (4th August, 1265), and later, in the English Civil War, the Battle of Worcester (1651).

		This was a decision which was greeted with great sorrow in the Regiment for along with the Royal Fusiliers, The Middlesex, the 60th Rifles and Rifle Brigade were the only Regiments in the Army to have four Regular Battalions.

		The Pavilion was built for the start of the 1899 season and as Worcestershire took the field for its first-ever County match against Yorkshire, starting on the 4th May 1899, Paul Foley, in brown bowler hat and brown boots, was seen painting the sight-screen completing the finishing touches for the match to start.
		The early years for Worcestershire were something of a struggle as the County sought to establish itself as a first-class County and its only success (or near success) came in 1907 when the County came second in the County Championship.
		Among the first-class Counties Worcestershire could be regarded as one of the smallest, if one thinks in terms of the population it serves and the geographical area it serves.
