The regiment was raised in Ireland by Colonel Thomas Humberstone, with Lieutenant-General Thomas Bruce assuming the colonelcy in August 1780. It was dispatched to India shortly after being raised, and fought in the Second Anglo-Mysore War; after surrendering in May 1783, it was interned before returning to Ireland in 1784.
The "Loyal Lincolnshire" title was later reused by the 123rd Foot, raised in 1794.
