Шаблон:Infobox military unit Шаблон:US Revolutionary War The Régiment d'Agenois was a French infantry regiment formed under the Ancien Régime in 1595. It participated in the American War of Independence.
History
During the American War of Independence, the regiment suffered heavy casualties in d'Estaing's unsuccessful assault at Savannah in 1779, under the command of the Baron de Cadignan. A detachment of the regiment participated in the siege and capture of Pensacola in Florida by allied Spanish forces on 26 May 1781.[1]
In 1791, the Agenois lost its traditional title and was retitled the 16e Régiment d'Infanterie de Ligne. In 1794, all regular infantry regiments of the old Royal Army were amalgamated with newly raised volunteer battalions, thereby losing their former identity.[2]
Uniform
Шаблон:Expand section During the reign of Louis XV, the original Agenois Regiment wore a grey-white coat with red cuffs and waistcoat.[3]
