Regimental History Colonels of the King's Own Royal Regiment Charles Earl of Plymouth Never actually commanded the Regiment, as he was serving as a volunteer in Tangier and died from dysentery in Oct 1680, a few days before the Regiment landed. He was regarded as a brave, affable and promising officer and died at the age of 23. His body was embalmed, sent to England and interred in Westminster Abbey.
