The Régiment d'Agenois was a French infantry regiment formed under the
American War of Independence
.
History
During the American War of Independence, the regiment suffered heavy casualties in
Pensacola in Florida by allied Spanish forces on 26 May 1781.[1]
In 1791, the Agenois lost its traditional title and was retitled the 16e Régiment d'Infanterie de Ligne. In 1794, all regular infantry regiments of the old Royal Army were amalgamated with newly raised volunteer battalions, thereby losing their former identity.[2]
