Something missing here[edit]

"Harcourt was commissioned into the First Regiment of Foot Guards in October 1759.[1] The regiment had been raised at his father's expense and was known as Harcourt's Black Horse.[1]"

A reference has clearly been excised here. The First Regiment of Foot Guards, dating as a Regiment from the Restoration of King Charles II in 1660, were clearly not raised for his son by the Earl of Harcourt in the mid-C18th. My guess it is reference to the 16th Light Dragoons. JF42 (talk) 16:20, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

now sorted. It was the 16th Light Dragoons that his father raised. Dormskirk (talk) 07:48, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
