The 10 companies were designated the 104th Regiment of Foot on 24 February 1782. The companies remained scattered, principally on Guernsey, and all were brought together there in January 1783. On 24 March 1783, 500 men of the regiment, all Irish, who were in winter quarters in Fort George, Guernsey, mutinied. The origin was possibly some discharged men from the recently disbanded 83rd Regiment who had just been sent to join the 104th on the island.
