 In 1802, following the Treaty of Amiens the various volunteer corps that had been formed during the war were to be disbanded.The Staffordshire Volunteers, which had been raised in 1798, chose to be merged with the 80th Foot, which became the 80th Regiment of Foot (Staffordshire Volunteers).In the same year the 80th sailed back to India, again suffering shipwreck on the journey.
