43rd and 52nd Foot

The 43rd and 52nd Foot are historical British Army regiments, each with their own distinct origins and histories. The 43rd Foot, also known as the "South Lancashire Regiment," was established in 1702 and served in various conflicts, including the Napoleonic Wars. The 52nd Foot, known as the "Oxfordshire Light Infantry," was formed in 1755 and distinguished itself in battles like the Battle of Albuera during the Peninsular War. Over time, both units went through reorganizations and amalgamations, eventually becoming part of modern British Army regiments. They symbolize the long-standing tradition and lineage of British military infantry units.
