The 99th Regiment of Foot (Jamaica Regiment) was an infantry regiment of the British Army, raised in 1780 by Charles Rainsforth and disbanded in 1783.[1]
It was raised in the Midlands for service in the West Indies, and spent three years (1780 to 1783) stationed in Jamaica as a garrison unit before being returned to England to be disbanded.[2]
Lieutenant General Robert Skene was Colonel of the Regimant from 1781 to 1783.[3] William Neville Gardiner became a colonel the following year.
