Battle of Krefeld
The Battle of Krefeld (sometimes referred to by its French name of Créfeld, and as Creveld[2]) was fought at Krefeld near the Rhine on 23 June 1758 between a German army[b] under Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel and a French army under Count Louis of Clermont during the Seven Years' War. As a result of this Ferdinand's victory, the British government eventually decided to reinforce him with 2,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry from the island.[2]

Fairfax Battalia
After I left in 89 the regiment was part of the Fairfax Brigade until renamed Fairfax Battalia in 1993 . Devereux's were brigaded with Walton's, Overton's and Fox's in a unit that would be a major feature of re-enactment for the next 27 years. Thanks to Andy. Facebook
