- The 56th (West Essex) Regiment of Foot was an infantry regiment in the British Army, active from 1755 to 1881. It was originally raised in Northumbria as the 58th Regiment, and renumbered the 56th the following year when two senior regiments were disbanded. It saw service in Cuba at the capture of Havana in the Seven Years' War, and was later part of the garrison during the Great Siege of Gibraltar in the American Revolutionary War. During the French Revolutionary Wars it fought in the Caribbean and then in Holland. On the outbreak of the Napoleonic Wars the 56th raised a second battalion in 1804 as part of the anti-invasion preparations; both saw service in India and in the Indian Ocean, with the first capturing Réunion and Mauritius. A third battalion was formed in the later years of the war, but was disbanded after a brief period of service in the Netherlands. The regiment spent much of the following period on foreign garrison duties, and saw service in the later stages of the Crimean War, at the Siege of Sevastopol. It was despatched to India during the Indian Mutiny, but did not see active service. The regiment was amalgamated with the 44th (East Essex) Regiment of Foot to form the 2nd Battalion of the Essex Regiment in 1881, as part of the Childers Reforms; the Essex Regiment's lineage is currently maintained by the 1st Battalion, Royal Anglian Regiment, a mechanised infantry unit.

- Le 56e régiment à pied (West Essex), en anglais 56th (West Essex) Regiment of Foot, est un régiment d'infanterie de l'armée britannique qui fut actif de 1755 à 1881. À l'origine d'un pourpre foncé, la couleur du parement de l'uniforme du régiment fut changé en 1764, année de la mort de madame de Pompadour, en violet, qui passait en Angleterre pour être sa couleur favorite. Le régiment fut alors officiellement surnommé The Pompadours. Les soldats, pour leur part, préféraient affirmer que c'était la couleur des sous-vêtements de la marquise. En 1881, le régiment fusionna avec le 44th (East Essex) Regiment of Foot pour former le Essex Regiment, qui participa aux deux guerres mondiales. En héritage de son prédécesseur, ce régiment conserva le parement violet et le surnom de Pompadours jusqu'à sa dissolution en 1958. Ensuite, c'est le 3e bataillon du Royal Anglian Regiment qui récupéra la tradition, jusqu'à sa suppression en 1992.
