Service during the War

In 1702, the regiment served with the Army of Flanders.

On 30 June 1703, the regiment supposedly took part in the Battle of Ekeren, although we found no mention of this unit in any order of battle.

On 23 May 1706, the regiment was supposedly present at the Battle of Ramillies, although we found no mention of this unit in any order of battle. It later took part in the defence of Ostend.

The regiment then served in various garrisons until the end of the war.
