Who paid for a personally raised regiment

Did a colonel have to fund his regiment during peacetime?

A regiment raised on a colonel's own initiative remained his responsibility, while a government-commissioned formation had a different financial arrangement.

The financial obligation depended on how the regiment came into existence. A colonel who chose to raise a unit personally assumed costs that could continue to trouble him when wartime demand ended. A government commission created a different financial arrangement, so the same personal responsibility could not simply be assumed. The distinction matters because the label colonel could conceal very different financial relationships between an officer, his soldiers, and the state.
