Seaforth’s recruiting poster at time of King George III (1738-1820). Recruitment poster announcement for the raising of the 78th Regiment in 1778 by Kenneth Mackenzie in gratitude to King George III for restoring the family title of ‘Earl of Seaforth’ to him, after it had been removed following the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715. In 1793 the Regiment saw action in the Netherlands during the French Revolutionary War fighting at Nijmegen, which is indicated by the line "Now for a stroke at the Monsieurs, my Boys!" The 78th combined with the 72nd Regiment in 1881 as the Seaforth Highlanders. This poster was pinned to the wooden wall of the Andrew Paterson Studio in order to be copied.

It reads: "SEAFORTH'S HIGHLANDERS. To be forthwith raised for the DEFENCE of His Glorious Majesty KING GEORGE the Third, and the Preservation of our Happy Constitution in Church and State.

All LADS of TRUE HIGHLAND BLOOD willing to shew their Loyalty and Spirit may repair to SEAFORTH, or the Major, ALEXANDER MACKENZIE of Belmaduthy; or the other Commanding Officers at head Quarters at ________________________ where they will receive HIGH BOUNTIES and SOLDIER-LIKE ENTERTAINMENT.

The LADS of this Regiment will LIVE and DIE together;- as they cannot be DRAUGHTED into other Regiments, and must be reduced in a BODY in their OWN COUNTRY.

Now for a stroke at the Monsieurs, my Boys!
KING George for ever!
HUZZAH!"
