Welcome! Ex-field artillery officer here, and my old unit (24th Inf. Div.) has faded into history. Looking forward to your pics...!

Re: Forward the 42nd!
 from a retired USMC Master Sergeant in the Old Dominion. I believe part of the 42nd RHR was in Virginia back in 1780 or so! I have also followed the 42nd's trail through Pennsylvania and New York (they were there in 1763 and 1758, respectively). The BW monument at Ticonderoga is very impressive!

The Light Coy of the 1/42nd RHR served at Yorktown (VA) in the Light Infantry battalion.
The 1/42nd was sent to North America in 1776; and fought at Long Island and in the Jerseys: at Brandywine, Paoli's Tavern, Germantown (Light Coy only), Billingsport, White Marsh and Monmouth. Thereafter they were in garrison in New York, except for taking part in the capture of Charleston in 1780.

Welcome Sergeant Major from another retired Marine.
Orvice and I are mess-mates and I too have followed the trail of the old 42nd when they served here in the colonies.
