94th Regiment of Foot (1760)

The 94th Regiment of Foot was a British Army infantry regiment raised in 1760 during the Seven Years' War. It was short-lived, existing for only three years before being disbanded in 1763. Its primary role was to serve in North America, contributing to the British war effort against France and its allies in that theater.

The regiment was raised by Colonel Sir John Dunbar, and initially consisted of around 1,000 men. It was deployed to North America, likely participating in sieges and other military operations as part of the larger British strategy to secure control of the continent. Details of its specific battles and campaigns are somewhat scarce in readily available historical records, but it is believed they served in various locations across British North America.

Following the Treaty of Paris in 1763, which formally ended the Seven Years' War, the British government significantly reduced the size of the army. As a result, many regiments, including the 94th, were disbanded as part of the post-war restructuring and cost-cutting measures. The officers and soldiers of the disbanded regiment were either discharged or transferred to other units within the British Army. Consequently, the 94th Regiment of Foot (1760) has no lineal descendants in the modern British Army. It is distinct from later regiments with the same or similar designations.
