British mercenaries were soldiers that fought for pay and were not a regular part of the army. Mercenaries were an important part of some of Britain's early war efforts, though they are seldom used today.
No. They had no Italian mercenaries, but did have Germans. The king asked Catherine the Great to send Russian troops, but she refused.
German mercenaries had a reputation for being particularly brutal in battle.

Hessians
NO!!! The British still employ/use mercenaries today. They are the Ghurka Regiment of the British Army. In formal legalistic terms they are mercenaries.
German mercenaries called Hessians were hired to help the British fight in the colonies. Although this was not a popular move with the British people, Britain had no choice after having never replenished its army to previous numbers following the Seven Years War.
In the War of Independence, the Germanic Hessians fought for and with British soldiers.
