The Regiment was formed from Independent Companies of Musketeers and
Pikemen in Devonshire.
It was nicknamed “The Green Howards” or “Howard’s Garbage” from its
facings, and Colonel’s name from 1738 to 1748, and to distinguish it
from the 3rd Foot, which was also commanded by a Colonel Howard at that
time.
TWENTIETH FOOT.
