2nd Tangier Regiment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2nd Tangier Regiment was raised by the Charles FitzCharles, 1st Earl of Plymouth in 1680.

Part of the British Army, its role was to help the Tangier Garrison but that was evacuated four years later.

After a number of changes of name it became the 4th (The King's Own) Regiment of Foot when regimental numbers were introduced in 1751.
