Oglethorpe's Regiment (p. 47) was raised by him in England in 1737 for service in the State of Georgia, North America, of which he was then Governor. It was known, during its short existence, as " The 42nd," and was disbanded in 1748.

In Cannon's ' Historical Record of the Marine Corps ' it is stated that Oglethorpe's Regiment " had not been ranked in the number of regiments of infantry in the Official Records of the army, although in some publications of that period it was numbered the Forty-second regiment, according to its seniority and the date of its formation."
