The regiment next saw action during the Raid on St Malo, destroying much of the French stores, in June 1758 during the Seven Years' War. It went on to equal success, destroying the vessels in the harbour, at the Raid on Cherbourg in August 1758. The regiment was stationed in Islington and was placed on guarding duties at Apsley House, the home of Lord Bathurst, during the Gordon Riots in 1780.
