TWO EARLY COMMISSIONS FOR THE ROYAL WELCH FUSILIERS. The regiment had been established as the 23rd Regiment of Foot in 1689 to oppose the pretensions of James II and fight the French; Ingoldsby being appointed colonel on 28 February 1693 and brigadier-general on 1 June 1696. He later served under Marlborough, who thought him an "extraordinary good" and "very brave, and a very honest man" (ODNB).
