Various references state he commanded the 25th. I find none that state the 29th, other than Oxford Dictionary of National Biography

During the Seven Years' War, the regiment was commanded by:
April 29 1752: William Home, 8th earl of Home
May 29 1761 to December 29 1762: Sir Henry Erskine, 5th Baronet[1]
