[...] The names of the famous old military families recur again and again in the history of the wars of Europe ; and there were few countries and few armies which did not avail themselves of the aid of Swiss soldiers of fortune: we find the names of Stt cicalper and Riedmatten as captains of Swiss companies under Henri Qitatre and a Brigadier General and Colonel of the same names among the Swiss troops [...] The Plyffers of Lucerne signalised themselves in the service of the French Crown for generations from the wars of the League to the defence of the Tuileries. [...] The King at the same time laid down the following-reglations for the promotion of officers in the Swiss Regiments;— L_When a Regiment becomes vacant the Colonel-General will submit to His Britannic Majelly the names of two officers of whom one shall be the Lieutenant-Colonel of the said Regiment and the other an officer of merit either the Major or a Captain of the same Regiment.
