A history of the regiment is given in The Regimental History of Cromwell's Army by Sir Charles Firth and Godfrey Davies, Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1940.

Colonel Ralph Weldon’s New Model Army regiment was formed from his own regiment of Sir William Waller’s Southern Association, originally raised in Kent. They missed Naseby instead fighting at Taunton, then on Fairfax’s Western campaign, and served at the siege of Oxford. Weldon being appointed governor of Plymouth the regiment was given to Sir Arthur Haselrig and moved into garrison at Newcastle by 1648. In August of that year they stormed Tynemouth Castle after Lt Col Henry Lilburne had changed sides and declared for the King. The regiment remained in garrison in the North, sending drafts to Scotland and Ireland. In 1659 they eventually came over to Monck’s party and were disbanded at the end of 1660.
