The King's Royal Rifle Corps (The 60th Regiment Of Foot ) - Famous Regiments series 

 

Can justly claim to be one of the most famous of all regiments. From the very moment when they were founded in 1755 in North America as The Royal Americans, their record has always been that of innovators. They were among the first to adopt uniforms that blended with their surroundings, they were among the first to fight as skirmishers in advance and on the flanks of armies, and they were the pioneers of mounted infantry and the first to use motor transport to secure greater mobility in the field.
