Loyal Essex Regiment of Fencible Cavalry: “In 1797 when the French landed in Ireland, the Regiment moved to Ayr and were ferried to Ireland although the French had surrendered before the Regiment has reached the British Army lines.
They remained in Ireland until 1799 when they were disbanded no doubt to make way for the new provisional Cavalry.” : http://www.essexregiment.co.uk/cavfen.html
“In 1794 six troops of the 'Loyal Essex Regiment of Fencible Cavalry' (later to be renamed 'The Essex Light Dragoons') were formed from the Harlow area against threats of a French invasion with landings on the Essex coast.”
