The unit was one of seven regiments, six of them regular infantry, raised on 23 July 1779 in response to the French intervention in the American Revolutionary War. The French entry into the war forced a change in British strategy. England itself now being considered vulnerable, the French intervention precipitated "feverish activity in raising levies for defence of the country." Parliament passed a bill calling for the creation of "loyal corps of volunteers," but before any could actually be formed, "noblemen and gentlemen came forward with offers to raise regular regiments at their own expense." The 95th Regiment of Foot was the regiment raised by John Reid.[1][2] The regiment was in the field from 7 April 1780 until 31 May 1783, the day it was disbanded.[2][3] It participated in the Battle of Jersey.[4] The regiment's uniforms consisted of buff waistcoats and buff breeches, the facings buff as well. The officers' lace and buttons were silver; the lace of the rank and file was plain white. All ranks wore fringed wings and coats with ten square loops.[3] References1. ^{{cite book|last=Fortescue|first=John William|title=A History of the British Army: Volume III: 1763–1792|publisher=Macmillan|location=London, UK|date=1911}} 2. ^1 {{DNB Cite|wstitle=Reid, John (1721-1807)}} 3. ^1 {{cite book|last=Franklin|first=Carl|title=British Army Uniforms from 1751 to 1783|publisher=Pen & Sword Military|date=2012|location=Barnsley, South Yorkshire, UK|ISBN=978 1 84884 690 6}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/inf/095-780.htm |title=95th Regiment of Foot |publisher=Regiments.org |accessdate=19 March 2017 |deadurl=bot: unknown |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060514203356/http://www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/inf/095-780.htm |archivedate=14 May 2006 |df= }} See also{{Regiments of Foot}}{{Authority control}} 3 : Infantry regiments of the British Army|Military units and formations established in 1779|Military units and formations disestablished in 1783 |
