[19] The origin of the word “FIRM” being borne by the THIRTY-SIXTH has not been ascertained with certainty; but it has been supposed that it was adopted in consequence of the expression _firmness_ used in the orders of General the Earl Cornwallis the day after the capture of the important fortress of Bangalore, the details of which are given at page 53; the documents alluded to by Sir George Nayler in the above letter, and on which the regiment was permitted to revive the word “FIRM,” are inserted in the Appendix, pages 129, &c.; by these it will be perceived that the word “FIRM” must have been adopted by the regiment several years before the capture of _Bangalore_, which was effected in March 1791. SUCCESSION OF COLONELS OF THE THIRTY-SIXTH, OR THE HEREFORDSHIRE REGIMENT OF FOOT. WILLIAM VISCOUNT CHARLEMONT. _Appointed 28th June 1701._ WILLIAM CAULFEILD, the second Viscount Charlemont, for his services in the cause of King William III., was rewarded by a regiment of infantry. His Majesty also made him Governor and Custos Rotulorum of the counties of Tyrone and Armagh, and Governor of the fort of Charlemont.

On the 25th of August 1704, his Lordship was promoted to the rank of Brigadier-General, and in the following year was called upon to serve in Spain under Charles, Earl of Peterborough. Lord Charlemont rendered important services at the siege of Barcelona; and at the attack of Fort Montjuich on the 14th of September 1705, his Lordship marched into the works, at the head of his men, and was near the Prince of Hesse Darmstadt when he received the wound which terminated mortally. After the action Lord Charlemont, and Lieut.-Colonel Southwell of the Sixth foot, were presented to the King of Spain as officers that had performed signal service on that occasion, for which they received the thanks of that Sovereign. The taking of this fort paved the way for reducing Barcelona, which surrendered on the 9th of October 1705. His Lordship was subsequently removed from the THIRTY-SIXTH regiment, by the Earl of Peterborough, and, in justice to his character and feelings, preferred a complaint to Her Majesty Queen Anne against his former Commander; this was referred to a Council of General Officers, who, after several meetings, at which witnesses were heard on both sides, made two satisfactory reports to Her Majesty, copies of
