Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: i whara kinotia a Ligonier i a ia e whakahau ana i te Black Horse i te
Te Pakanga o Dettingen i te 27 o Hune 1743. I te 25 o Paenga-whāwhā 1745 i mahue ia i te rārangi hei kaikoroneli o te 59th (i muri mai 48th) Rārangi o te waewae, a ka meinga hei kaikoroneli o te 13th Dragoons i te 1 o Oketopa 1745. Ko te koroneela o mua o te 13th, a James Gardiner, i mate i te Pakanga o Prestonpans i muri i tana whakarere i ana tangata, a ka hoatu e George II te ope ki a Ligonier me te kii "ka hoatu e ia he rangatira ki a raatau me pehea te whawhai". I mau a Ligonier i nga rangatira e rua i te wa kotahi, he mea onge. Ahakoa i mua i herea ki te moenga me te mate pukupuku o te pouaka, i riro i a Ligonier te mana o te roopu o nga dragoons a Henry Hawley mo te Pakanga o Falkirk Muir i te 16 o Hanuere 1746. I pangia e ia te pleurisy ka mate ia i Edinburgh i te 25 o Hanuere, i tanumia ia e rima ra i muri mai.
