Captured at Yorktown, "2 regiments artillery, 2 of guards, 2 of light-infantry, 7 of foot ("regiments of foot" were infantry)," which were enumerated separately from those German-speaking troops that served with the British: see jaegers.

The "7 of foot" that were enumerated included the "17th, 23d, 33d, 45th, 71st, 76th, and 80th."
