The regiment had Lieutenant Latham and Ensign Smith killed; Lieut. -Colonel Newcomb died of his wounds ; Colonel the Earl of Meath, Lieutenants Blake- ney and Hubblethorn, wounded ; and upwards of a hundred soldiers killed and wounded. * The failure of this attack, with the approach of unfavourable weather, occasioned His Majesty to raise the siege, when the regiment marched with several others, under Major-General Kirke, towards Mullin- gar ; but afterwards proceeded to the relief of Birr, whi...ch was besieged by a body of the enemy under Major-General Sarsfield, who retired behind the Shan- non on the approach of the British troops. The regiment was afterwards stationed at Mullingar, which was one of the frontier garrisons, and was actively employed during the winter in making incursions into the enemy's cantonments. Towards the end of April, 1691, a detachment of the 1691 regiment, commanded by Lieut. -Colonel Hamilton, accompanied a party under Colonel Brewer in a sudden advance towards Dunore, to surprise two thousand armed Roman Catholic peasantry, who had taken post near that place.
