10th Regt. of Foot button from this year

[SC Keith]

I recovered this button early this year. This regt. saw action in the rev war at the Battle of Lexington and Concord, Battle of Bunker Hill, Battle of Germantown and others.
The officers of this regt were sent home to England in 1778, but the enlisted men were mustered into other units for continued service in North America.

Way to go, Keith, on that sweet Colonial button dig. Good news. I am back on the other forum. Keep posting these SC Colonial goodies.

Yep nice button and in great shape!
Here's one from the continental 10th reg. I found last year around this time.
Take Care,
