After taking part in the Siege of Pondicherry they were engaged in the Battle of Buxar, in which the East India Company, supported by British Army troops, defeated the combined Mughal forces in the Ganges valley during the Carnatic War. This pivotal British victory sealed the fate of Mughal domination of North India. The regiment were disbanded in 1763 following the Treaty of Paris. The Colonel Commandant throughout its existence was Colonel Hon. George Monson.
