Raised by Ogle for service in Ireland, they returned to England in 1643 under Mynne's command. Mynne’s foot were assigned to Vavasour’s force opposing Massey at Gloucester. It’s possible that Mynne's regiments was combined into Vavasour's. The regiment appear to have been destroyed at Redmarley by Massey, though perhaps the survivors continued to serve under Vavasour.

The regiment were issued suits of clothes at Bristol, supplied by Thomas Bushell²⁾.

“And it is most true that those three Regiments which the King and Parliament sent over for this Province, under the commaund of Sir Charles Vavasor, Sir John Paulett and Sir William Ogle, are soe lessened, wakened and made unserviceable by fluxes, small pox, feavers, and with long marches and lyeing upon the cold ground, as we are not able out of these 3 regiments to draw into the field 1200 able and serviceable men; death and sickness having reduced them to sioe weake condition.” Earl of Cork to speaker of the House of Commons 25/08/42³⁾

A list of the regiment's officers is also shown in An English Army for Ireland by Ian Ryder, Partizan Press.
