The 1st Highland Battalion, AKA the 62nd Regiment of Foot, AKA the 77th Regiment of Foot, Montgomery's Highlanders had been disbanded since 1763, so how exactly was someone fighting against that regiment in in the 75-83 period?

Yes, thanks for the correction. When I posted last night I was working from memory. Not a good idea so late at night. Read "71st Regiment of Foot, Fraser's Highlanders" in its place.
