6th JUNE 1797 – ON THIS DAY IN RWF HISTORY


RWF rejected appeal to join Nore naval mutineers, 1797

The Regiment was based nearby when a naval mutiny broke out at the Nore, at the mouth of the Thames estuary. On being asked to join the mutiny members of 23rd responded with an address expressing their loyalty which was sent immediately to the King.
