Background
The 78th Highland Regiment of Foot were raised in 1793 by Colonel Francis Humberston MacKenzie, Lord Seaforth (Chief of the Clan MacKenzie) at Fort George some fifteen miles north east of Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. Initially a single regiment of foot, a second battalion was added a year later but they were merged in 1796 while stationed in South Africa. In 1804, a second battalion was again raised by Major-General Alexander MacKenzie Fraser, brother-in-law of the regiment’s founder. In 1817, the two battalions were once more merged and finally, in 1881, the 78th became the 2nd Battalion of the Seaforth Highlanders.

During the eighty-eight years from its foundation to its disappearance as a distinct regiment, the 78th, in its various formations, saw service in a dozen foreign countries, accumulated an enviable array of battle honours and saw eight of its officers and men awarded Britain’s highest military honour, the Victoria Cross, as well as a V.C. awarded to the regiment as a whole.
