Red coat, also referred to as redcoat or scarlet tunic,
is a military garment formerly much used by British infantry
servicemen, so customarily that the term became a common synecdoche for
the servicemen themselves.
The experience of British soldiers in the eighteenth century would have depended on where he was stationed, the time period and who he was fighting. The British Army
underwent significant changes during the eighteenth century, mainly to
ensure they would be able to perform well in the numerous wars that Great Britain participated in during the century, such as the War of the Spanish Succession, the War of the Austrian Succession, the Seven Years' War, the American War of Independence, and the French Revolutionary Wars.
The British Army during the Napoleonic Wars experienced a time of rapid change. At the beginning of the French Revolutionary Wars in 1793, the army was a small, awkwardly administered force of barely 40,000 men. By the end of the period, the numbers had vastly increased. At its peak, in 1813, the regular army contained over 250,000 men. The British infantry was "the only military force not to suffer a major reverse at the hands of Napoleonic France."
There were eventually 104 regiments of the line. They were numbered and,
from 1781, were given territorial designations, which roughly
represented the area from which troops were drawn. This was not entirely
rigid, and most regiments had a significant proportion of English,
Irish, Scots and Welsh together, except for certain deliberately
exclusive regiments. The majority of regiments contained two battalions, while some had only one. One special case, the 60th Foot, ultimately had seven battalions. Battalions were dispersed throughout the army, it was rare for two battalions of any regiment to serve in the same brigade.
The line formation was the most favoured, as it offered the maximum firepower, about 1000 to 1500 bullets per minute.Though the manual laid down that lines were to be formed in three
ranks, the lines were often formed only two ranks deep, especially in
the Peninsula. While the French favoured column formation, the line
formation enabled all muskets available to fire at the enemy. In
contrast, only the few soldiers in the first rows of the column (about
60) were able to fire.
British infantry were far better trained in musketry than most armies
on the continent (30 rounds per man in training for example, compared
with only 10 in the Austrian Army) and their volleys were notably steady
and effective.
