After escorting the rebel prisoners to the nearest gaols, the regiment was placed in cantonments in Lancashire, where it was stationed until the final suppression of the rebellion in Scotland, by the troops under the Duke of Argyle, in the early part of 1716. [Sidenote: 1716] [Sidenote: 1717] The regiment assembled in April, 1716, at Manchester, where it was inspected, and afterwards marched into dispersed quarters in Wiltshire; in April, 1717, it marched into the counties of Berks and Hants, and passed the following winter at Worcester and Bromsgrove. [Sidenote: 1718] In the spring of 1718 the regiment marched to Gloucester and Tewksbury: a reduction in the army took place, and in the autumn of this year, the THIRTEENTH Dragoons embarked at Liverpool for Ireland, to replace a regiment ordered to be disbanded in that country. [Sidenote: 1719] [Sidenote: 1722] [Sidenote: 1725] The THIRTEENTH Dragoons were stationed in Ireland during the remainder of the reign of King George I., and also during the first fourteen years of the reign of King George II. Their colonel, Brigadier-General Munden, was removed, in 1722, to the eighth dragoons, and was succeeded by Brigadier-General Sir Robert Rich, Baronet, whose regiment of dragoons, raised in 1715, had been disbanded. On the decease of Brigadier-General Munden, in 1725, Sir Robert Rich was removed to the eighth dragoons, and was succeeded by Colonel William Stanhope, afterwards Earl of Harrington, who raised a regiment in 1715, which was disbanded in 1718. [Sidenote: 1730] Lord Harrington was appointed Secretary of State, and the colonelcy of the THIRTEENTH Dragoons was conferred, on the 7th of July, 1730, on Colonel Henry Hawley, from the thirty-third foot. [Sidenote: 1735] [Sidenote: 1739] [Sidenote: 1740] [Sidenote: 1741] Colonel Hawley was promoted to the rank of brigadier-general in 1735, to that of major-general in 1739, and was removed to the Royal Dragoons in May, 1740, when he was succeeded by Colonel Robert Dalway, from the thirty-ninth foot. This officer died in November of the same year, and in January, 1741, King George II. conferred the colonelcy of the regiment on Colonel Humphrey Bland, from the thirty-sixth foot. [Sidenote: 1742] In 1742 a British army was sent to Flanders, to support the house of Austria against the combined efforts of the King of France and the Elector of Bavaria, and the THIRTEENTH Dragoons were withdrawn from Ireland, and stationed in South Britain. [Sidenote: 1743] Brigadier-General Bland was removed to the third dragoons in April, 1743, and King George II. promoted Lieut.-Colonel JAMES GARDINER, from the Inniskilling Dragoons, to the colonelcy of the THIRTEENTH dragoons. [Sidenote: 1744] Colonel Gardiner left the sixth dragoons in Germany, and joined his regiment in England, and being a most zealous and efficient officer, he bestowed much care on its discipline, equipment, and the condition of the horses.
