Early in 1794 the regiment left Oudenarde for Wevelghem, and remained on outpost duty until April, when the army assembled, and was reviewed by the Emperor of Germany, on the heights of Cateau, where His Royal Highness William Frederick, Duke of Gloucester, was nominated to the command of the brigade composed of the FOURTEENTH, Thirty-seventh, and Fifty-third Regiments. In the general attack on the enemy's positions, on the 17th of April, the regiment formed part of the column under Lieutenant-General Sir William Erskine, and took part in the attack on the village of _Prêmont_, and the wood on its left. The French having been driven from their positions, the siege of _Landrécies_ was commenced, and the FOURTEENTH Regiment formed part of the covering army encamped on the heights of _Cateau_; this post was attacked on the 26th of April, by the French under General Chapuy, who were repulsed, with great slaughter, by the British cavalry, with the loss of many guns. On this occasion the light company of the regiment behaved with much gallantry, and, having advanced to a wood on the left, kept in check a considerable body of the enemy, who meditated an attack on the batteries. On the fall of Landrécies, the British troops moved to the vicinity of _Tournay_, where they were attacked on the 10th of May by a numerous body of French, who were defeated with severe loss. The FOURTEENTH Foot lost only one man on this occasion. At length a combined attack was made on the French positions, with the view of forcing them to evacuate Flanders, in which the FOURTEENTH Regiment had another opportunity of distinguishing itself; it left Tournay on the evening of the 16th of May,--took part in forcing the points of the French position it was destined to attack in the direction of Lisle, on the 17th of May, and was successful; but several Austrian columns failed to accomplish their part in the combined movements. The British troops, having penetrated the French position, and being left unsupported, became exposed to the attack of the enemy's very superior numbers. Early on the 18th of May the FOURTEENTH Regiment was environed and attacked by an overwhelming force, but it stood its ground, and by firing by wings and platoons with as much steadiness and regularity as on parade, held its assailants in check. Its veteran commanding officer, Brevet-Lieutenant-Colonel BROWNE, became quite exhausted, and sat for some time on a chair behind the colours. At length an aide-de-camp arrived from Major-General Fox, commanding the brigade, with orders for the FOURTEENTH to retreat; and while performing this retrograde movement, they preserved an unbroken formation. Surrounded by enemies, fired upon by infantry and artillery, and menaced by cavalry, the regiment preserved its order with astonishing firmness, forming divisions in the rear against cavalry, and marching over ground covered with dead bodies.
