It was raised in Ireland in May 1794 as the Earl of Granard's Regiment, and numbered as the 108th in November of the same year.[1] Shortly thereafter the 108th moved to Gibraltar for garrison duty. The regiment was broken up there in 1796 with the men drafted into the 64th and 85th Regiments of Foot.[2]
