On this day

Friday 08 Aug 1834

General Sir John Doyle Bt GCB KC, who raised the 87th Regiment of Foot in 1793, died on this day. Officers marked regimental mourning by wearing a band of black crepe on their left arm for 14 days. The Colonelcy of the Regiment passed not to a disappointed Sir Hugh Gough but rather to Sir Thomas Reynell. Gough did at last succeed Reynell between 1841 and 1855.
