Cooper, Samuel - 1792 - Later joined the Devonshire Regiment 11th. Foot Private 101
add: The Regiment's first engagement and battle was fought in Ireland on the banks of the River Boyne, on 1 July 1690 for King William III against his father in law, the erstwhile king, James II. James, with the support of Louis XIV of France, who was at the height of his drive to make himself master of Europe, landed in catholic Ireland at the head of a small French force, in March 1689. Around this force he gathered support from the openly rebellious Irish. At stake were the British throne, French dominance in Europe and Religious power in Ireland.
Hanmer's regiment had been in Ireland from 1689, when it took part in the relief of the siege of Londonderry. The following year William led his army of 36,000 men south to confront James's 25,000 strong Jacobite Army.
William distracted a large proportion of the Jacobite army by a flank march to the west, leaving the centre, including Hanmer's Regiment free to attack across the Boyne against a lightly held font. Having established a bridgehead the Wiliamite Army drove the Jacobite Army but had to hold out against a series of cavalry counter attacks. The enemy cavalry nearly broke through but were held by the disciplined volleys of the infantry and were finally broken by the arrival of Williams and his cavalry.
ames's Army were forced back but they made a disciplined withdrawal and escaped the destruction that William had planned for them. Hanmer's Regiment had played a creditable part in what was its first proper battle.
Remaining in Ireland until 1703, the Devonshires then joined John Churchill, the Duke of Marlborough's, army in Holland, where they assisted to capture the fortress of Huy and the city of Limburg, then held by the Spaniards. The Regiment's next campaign was in Portugal in 1705, and, after a visit to England, again in 1708.
