[Sidenote: 1716] In May 1716, the regiment marched from Lancaster, into cantonments at Lincoln and the neighbouring towns. [Sidenote: 1717] A reduction of the army took place in the spring of 1717, and in May, DORMER'S dragoons marched to Bristol and embarked for Ireland, to replace a regiment ordered to be disbanded in that country.

In 1720, Brigadier-General Dormer was removed to the sixth regiment of foot, and was succeeded in the colonelcy of the FOURTEENTH dragoons, by Colonel Clement Neville, from the lieut.-colonelcy of the thirteenth dragoons. [Sidenote: 1721] [Sidenote: 1737] Colonel Neville commanded the regiment seventeen years, and was removed in 1737, to the eighth dragoons, and the colonelcy of the FOURTEENTH was conferred on Colonel Archibald Hamilton from the 27th foot.

Emperor of Germany, died in 1740; the succession of the Archduchess Maria-Theresa, as Queen of Hungary and Bohemia, was disputed by the Elector of Bavaria, who was supported by a French army; and, in 1742, King George II. sent a British force to Flanders to aid the house of Austria; at the same time the FOURTEENTH dragoons were withdrawn from Ireland, to replace the cavalry regiments which had proceeded on foreign service from England.
