__NOTOC__ The Earl of Argyll's Regiment of Foot was a 17th-century Scottish infantry regiment, raised from the men of Argyll, and based at Fort William. The Colonel in Chief was the Earl of Argyll, although this was a nominal appointment, and he did not exercise his command or take part in the regiment's actions. Private soldiers were also called ''Sentinels'' in Argyll's regiment of Foot. The regiment was a regular line regiment, rather than a highland militia, and was based at Fort William, under the command of Colonel John Hill, an experienced English officer who had fought with Cromwell during the English Civil War. Captain Campbell received 8 shillings per day as a senior officer. Secretary of State, John Dalrymple chose the Earl of Argyll’s Regiment of Foot to carry out the Massacre of Glencoe. A roll call of the 2nd Company of the Earl of Argyll's Regiment was taken in October, 1691. It is unlikely to have changed greatly between this point and February, when the company was involved in the Massacre of Glencoe. Although Captain Campbell and the majority of the men were highlanders, the junior officers were lowland covenanters. The regiment fought in the Low Countries, ultimately under the name Lord Lorne's Regiment, until the cessation of hostilities in 1697 when it was disbanded by the Parliament of Scotland along with all other regiments raised since 1681. ==1st Platoon== * Major Robert Campbell of Glenlyon〔(Robert Campbell 1630 - 1696 ) at Perth and Kinross Council. 〕 * * Sergeant Robert Barber * * * Corporal James Macphail * * * * Drummer Cuthbert Hunter * * * * Private Archibald Campbell (elder) * * * * Private Donald Campbell (younger) * * * * Private George Campbell * * * * Private Archibald Gray * * * * Private John MacCallom * * * * Private Duncan MacCallum (elder) * * * * Private Archibald MacChessag * * * * Private Malcolm MacClewan * * * * Private MacEacher * * * * Private MacIvackeder * * * * Private David MacIvor * * * * Private John MacKinley * * * * Private Archibald MacLean * * * * Private Duncan MacNachton * * * * Private Duncan MacPholl (younger) * * * * Private Adam Macray * * * * Private Gillies Nicoll * * * * Private Donald Robertson * * * * Private Thomas Scott * * * * Private John Stewart 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Earl of Argyll's Regiment of Foot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
