The regiment was redesignated the 76th Foot in 1758 when a number of lower numbered (and thus senior) regiments divided into two. In 1758 the second battalion of the 76th regiment itself became the 86th Regiment of Foot. The regiment disbanded in 1763.

gollark: Most of the planes I've been on have only had "normal" seating as far as I could tell. Those have mostly been shortish journeys around Europe, so that might be why.
gollark: BTW I use ArchThe AUR is very nice, it still seems to have lots of available binary packages, and it's pretty lightweight.
