31st (Huntingdonshire) Regiment of Foot - Conversion To Infantry

Conversion To Infantry

With the signing of the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713 the war came to an end. The majority of the marine regiments were disbanded, with some retained and converted to line infantry. Gorings Marines were one of these and became Sir Henry Goring's Regiment of Foot, with precedence as 31st regiment of foot, although it continued to be known by the name of its colonel until 1751.

The unit saw action repelling the Jacobite rising of 1715. They then spent twenty-six years manning garrisons in Ireland and England.
