Engagements

The Armagnac Regiment (French: Régiment d'Armagnac) was a line infantry regiment of the French Royal Army raised in 1776, which served during the American Revolutionary War and War of the First Coalition until it was disbanded in 1794. Just two years after formation, the regiment would serve during the Anglo-French War seeing action in both North America and the Caribbean. Following their return, a brief period of peace followed until the revolution and subsequent war, which saw the regiment's lineage discontinued.
