Saintonge Saintonge Web Page Who we Are In 1781 the 85me Regiment de Saintonge and four other regiments of the French army marched south from Newport Rhode Island to Virginia where they would join the American forces under General Washington and make the critical contribution to the final defeat of the British Crown forces at Yorktown. Today we maintain the elan and esprit de corps that characterized these crack troops. Our faithfulness to that spirit has made the recreated Regiment de Saintonge widely known and respected both on and off the field. In addition to the 85me Regiment de Saintonge we also portray the 4th Regiment of Militia Middlesex County Massachusetts part of the colonial forces that contributed to the defense of the colonies as a complement to the regular army.
