The <entity_1> was a military <entity_5> of Great Britain by Revolutionary France during the <entity_0>. The brief campaign, on <entity_2>–<entity_3>, is the most recent landing on British soil by a hostile foreign force, and thus is often referred to as the "last <entity_5> of mainland Britain". However, the third <entity_5> went ahead, and on 16 <entity_3> a fleet of four French warships left Brest, flying Russian colours and bound for Britain. The <entity_7>-bound <entity_5> force consisted of 1,400 troops from La Legion Noire, a partly penal battalion under the command of Irish-American Colonel William Tate. They landed at Carregwastad Point near <entity_4> in Pembrokeshire on <entity_2>. Some accounts report a failed attempt to enter <entity_4> harbour, but this scenario does not seem to have appeared in print before 1892 and probably has its origin in a misunderstanding of an early pamphlet about the <entity_5> The Legion Noire landed under the cover of darkness at Carreg Wastad Point, three miles northwest of <entity_4>. On the night of <entity_2>, there was a social event at Tregwynt Mansion, and the young Thomas Knox was in attendance when a messenger on horseback arrived from the <entity_4> & Newport Volunteer Infantry to inform the commanding officer of the <entity_5>. In 1853, amidst fears of another <entity_5> by the French, Lord Palmerston conferred upon the Pembroke Yeomanry the <entity_6> honour "<entity_4>".
