Note 23 — HISTORICAL RECORD OF THE THIRD, OR THE KING'S OWN, REGIMENT OF LIGHT DRAGOONS.
Reading edition
It is said that when the King reviewed his army, previous to leaving them in 1743, he noticed the deficiency in the ranks of the Third, by sharply asking whose regiment it was, and what had become of the remainder of it. 'Please your Majesty,' was the reply of General Bland, 'it is my regiment, and I believe the remainder of it is at Dettingen.'
