Origins In March 1689, the recently In 1692, the regiment’s colonelcy transferred to Richard Coote. Although the unit disbanded in 1697, Coote raised a new regiment in 1702, often regarded as the previous unit’s successor. This remained in Ireland for five years before being sent to fight in Spain and Portugal during the 18th century In 1713, the regiment was sent to garrison the new colony of Minorca, ceded to Britain under the terms of the Treaty of Utrecht. It remained in the Mediterranean serving as infantry and marines until 1719. It would serve as marines again in 1744, this time in the North Sea, during the In 1726-27, it helped withstand the siege of Gibraltar, another territory that had been ceded to Britain by Spain in 1713. It would return there for the Great Siege (1779-83) – the only regiment to serve in both campaigns - after which it was allowed to add Gibraltar’s castle and key to its badge. It went to Jamaica on its first West Indian posting in 1730. The regiment also returned to Ireland frequently during its initial 50 years.

Just beyond the row of coconut palms on the eastern fringe of Mumbai’s Oval Maidan in South Mumbai is a row of buildings of the finest architecture set in stone. This magnificent view, of the grand Gothic facades of the Bombay High Court, University of Mumbai and the old Secretariat, was the first glimpse of Bombay as seen by passengers arriving in ships, before they turned the corner and docked in the harbour on the city’s eastern shore. This was the mid-19th century and the waters of the Arabian Sea were nipping at the western flank of what later became the Oval Maidan. Visitors sailing past thus had a front-row seat to Bombay’s Gothic row. They say first impressions are the most lasting impressions, and the Gothic sight that greeted first-time visitors to this city was no act of beautification – it was designed to evoke shock and awe. The truth is that behind this row of splendid buildings was a Bombay only just finding its feet, a city on the cusp of expansion but not yet the great city it became in the decades that followed. So why the charade? Bygone Bombay The original seven islands of Bombay came into British possession with the dowry of Catherine of Braganza in 1662, on her wedding to King Charles II of England. But it was the period from the 1850s to the 1920s that saw the transformation of Bombay into India's commercial capital. It was during this time that visitors were given a grand Gothic ‘introduction’ to Bombay. This period also saw the construction of some...

The Dorsetshire Regiment The Dorsetshire Regiment was initially raised as the 39th and 54th Regiments of Foot. Raised in 1702 and 1755 respectively, the regiments served in Ireland, Gibraltar, America and India, where they gained the motto “Primus in Indis”- First In India- as the first King’s Regiment there. They fought against Napoleon in the Peninsular War and Egypt. In the 19 th century they were again in India, Australia and saw service in Burma and the Crimea. In 1881 the 39 th and 54 th Foot amalgamated to become The Dorsetshire Regiment. This was part of a wider reorganisation called the Cardwell Reforms, led by Secretary of State for War Edward Cardwell from 1868-1874. Britain's previous system of gentleman-soldiers was outdated and inefficient, compared to the Prussian system of military organisation. This had been proven in Germany's triumph in the Franco-Prussian war. The regiment served in South Africa during the Boer War. During the First World War battalions The Second World War saw t st Battalion in Malta, Sicily and Italy, with the 4 th and 5 th battalions fighting in North West Europe. The 2 nd Battalion saw service in France in 1940 before joining the battle for Burma. After 1945 the regiment served in Austria, Hong Kong, Korea and Germany. Despite the Dorset Regiment
