Monaghan Militia
Charles Leslie was appointed as lieutenant colonel commandant, later Colonel, of the Monaghan Regiment of Militia on its formation in 1793. On 8 August a ballot was held in Dublin to decide the precedence of the units and the Monaghan Regiment came out first. However, units were usually referred to by their county or county borough titles rather than their numbers, although those numbers were to be worn on uniforms and equipment together with the unit badge.
