The 17th Foot had a busy war during the American War of Independence, being among the first drafts of troops to reinforce the garrison at Boston in December 1775, and being part of 4th Brigade in General Howe's main army that captured New York and marched into New Jersey.
The regiment was famous for its hard fought action at Princeton in January 1777, proclaimed the Heroes of Prince Town on British recruitment posters in the aftermath. The regiment would recover to participate in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown and Monmouth, only to be captured in 1779 at the Battle of Stony Point, when the garrison was overwhelmed and after its exchange, to join Cornwallis in Yorktown where it would be surrendered yet again.
