The regiment participated in the capture of Fort Duquesne in 1758 . It spent 1761 – 1762 in the West Indies but was transported to New York in the autumn of 1762 .

Evocatus Evocatus ( plural " Evocati " ) was the Latin term for a soldier in the Roman army who had served out his time and obtained a discharge ( " missio " ) but had voluntarily enlisted again at the invitation of the consul or other commander . There always existed a considerable number of evocati in every army of importance , and when the general was a favorite among the soldiers , the number of veteran s who joined his standard naturally increased . The evocati were officially released , like the vexillarii , from the common military duties of fortifying the camp , making roads , et cetera , and held a higher rank in the army than the common legionary soldiers . However their treatment was not guaranteed as some legionary commanders pressured men to stay on to ensure their command retained enough soldiers , as recruitment into the imperial legions was not a universally popular career choice . They are sometimes written of in conjunction with the equites Romani , and sometimes classed with the centurion s . They appear to have been frequently promoted to the rank of centurion . Thus , Pompey induced a great many of the veterans who had served under him in former years to join his standard at the outbreak of the civil war with the promise of rewards and the command of centuries . Not all evocati could , however , have held the rank of centurion , nor could they belong to certain cohort s in the army . Cicero speaks of a " Praefectus evocatorum " , an officer in charge of the evocati . The name " evocati " was also applied to a select body of young men of the equestrian order who were appointed by Emperor Domitian to guard his bedchamber . This body is supposed by some writers to have existed under succeeding emperors and to have been the same as that consisting of those known as " Evocati Augusti " . References . Secondary Sources .
