One of my favourite Civil War regiments. Their high-point probably was Lansdown 1643
The 'London-lads' fought 'like so many invincible Romans..as long as light would suffer them to distinguish friends from foes...and wee must doe our enemies right, who fought it out very stoutly too; and indeed the charges were so incessantly hot on both sides, as the like (I believe) was never scene in England, not at Keynton-bataille, yea some old souldiers did say.'
