As a result of England's involvement in the 1689-1697 Nine Years War, the regiment was posted to Flanders; between 1689 and 1693, it fought at the battles of Walcourt, Steenkirk and Neer Landen, as well as the 1695 Siege of Namur. Hodges was killed at Steenkirk and replaced by James Stanley, later Earl of Derby.
