Gooch's American Regiment was a Regiment of Foot recruited in British North America, and put on the British establishment. It served in the expedition to Cartagena 1741, suffering heavy losses primarily from sickness. The regiment had a poor reputation and was regarded as undisciplined. It was severely neglected by the British government, and by the British military leadership, who did not feed or pay them at the base in Jamaica, and misused them as seamen during the expedition.
