I have already said that the detached companies were probably 

 organized as battalions in or shortly before 1803. Therefore 

 the companies dated 1803-4 in the foregoing list (viz. : Blandford, 

 Dorchester, Evershot, Piddletown, Portland and Sydling St. 

 Nicholas) may be provisionally regarded as forming part of the 

 3rd Battalion, of which no separate records appear to have 

 survived. Lt. -Colonel Pleydell commanded this battalion in 

 1804 when it was on permanent duty at Weymouth. 



Next follow the company officers of the 1st battalion, as 

 commanded by Lt.-Colonel Lord Digby in 1806. 



(9) Owner of Achilles privateer in 1793.
