At Ramilies it captured the "Colours" of the French Regiment-du-Roi, whence its distinction of Grenadier caps; also a Standard of the French Guards at Dettingen. At Waterloo, Napoleon spoke of them as "_Ces terribles chevaux gris_." In 1894 the Emperor of Russia was appointed Colonel-in-Chief of The Greys.

NOTES.--The old Fifth was the senior of the two regiments of Inniskilling Dragoons, the Second being now represented by the 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons. Marlborough specially recognised its gallantry at Blenheim; and at Ramilies (with the Scots Greys) it captured two French battalions, for which it, like the Greys, was allowed to wear Grenadier caps. It was disbanded in 1798, after good service, on the discovery of a plot by new recruits to murder the officers and loyal men.

NICKNAME.--"The Cross Belts" (1768), from its privilege of wearing the sword-belt over the left shoulder, in recognition of services at Saragossa, where it took the belts of the Spanish Cavalry; of this fact, however, there is no official record; also "The Georges" (from its Colonel's name, 1740-51); also "The Dirty Eighth." NOTES.--Composed originally of loyal Protestants who had fought at the Boyne. It gained much distinction in Spain and Flanders; and received its title, crest, and motto in 1777 as special marks of Royal favour. It shared largely in the glory of Leswarree and other Indian actions--in short, few regiments can boast a more honourable record than "The Royal Irish."

THE ROYAL ARTILLERY. The Royal Regiment of Artillery. [Illustration: THE ROYAL ARMS.] [Illustration: THE GUN AND MOTTOES.] TITLES. 16th century to 1716. The Train of Artillery. 1716 (from). The Royal Regiment of Artillery: comprising (Mar. 1900). (1) Horse Artillery (27 Batteries). (2) Field Artillery (121 Batteries). (3) Mountain Artillery (10 Batteries). (4) Garrison Artillery (83 Batteries); with (5) Artillery Militia: also incorporated. (6) The Royal Malta Artillery. (7) The (late) Bengal Artillery. (8) The (late) Madras Artillery. (9) The (late) Bombay Artillery. PRINCIPAL CAMPAIGNS, BATTLES, &c. One arm or other of this branch of the Service has, obviously, taken part in every campaign: a particularised list is therefore unnecessary. The guns are the "Colours" of the Artillery, and as such are entitled to all "parade honours." Formerly, regimental honours appear to have been worn by certain companies. Amongst such were "Niagara," "Leipsic," "Waterloo," and "The Dragon of China." UNIFORM.--Blue with Scarlet facings. Plume, White. REGIMENTAL BADGES.--The Royal Arms and Supporters, with a Cannon. The mottoes, "_Ubique_" (Everywhere) over, and "_Quo fas et glori ducunt_" ("Whither Right and Glory lead us") under the gun. NICKNAMES.--"The Gunners;" "The Four-wheeled Hussars" (of the Royal Horse Artillery). NOTES.--Trains of artillery seem first to have been raised in the time of Henry VIII.; and up to 1716 appear to have been disbanded after each campaign. In 1716 several companies received permanent corporate existence, since which the exigencies of modern warfare have led to an enormous increase in the number of batteries. But, from first to last the record of the Royal Artillery has been one of distinction, and it may fitly be said to share the honours of all other regiments. The Royal Irish Artillery were absorbed in 1801, and the East India Company's Artillery in 1858. BIBLIOGRAPHY.--_History of the Royal Regiment of Artillery._ Compiled from the original Records.

Amongst many others may be mentioned Jones, Burgoyne, Pasley, Colby, Denison, Napier of Magdala, Simmons, Gordon of Khartoum, Gerald Graham, Kitchener of Khartoum, Warren, and others. UNIFORM.--Scarlet and Black velvet facings (in 1717); Scarlet and Orange facings (1772-88); Dark Blue and Black facings (1788-1813); Scarlet and Dark Blue facings (from 1813).

This regiment will be designated 'The Irish Guards.'" The details of the Uniform have not yet been fully settled; the Harp and Crown appear on the buttons, and the Shamrock on the collar, while the regimental badge is the Star of the Order of St. Patrick. The Irish Guards commenced their public service as the guard of honour at the reception by H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, at Paddington, of Lord Roberts, the Commander-in-Chief, on the occasion of his return from the field of operations in South Africa, 1899-190[?].

NICKNAME.--"Pontius Pilate's Body-guard" (from its antiquity). NOTES.--Traditionally regarded as the ancient body-guard of the Scottish kings, this famous corps was in the service of Sweden, as "Hepburn's Regiment," from 1625 to 1633; and in that of France from 1633 to 1678, when (under Dumbarton) it came to England. It received its title in 1684 in recognition of the capture of a Colour from the Moors at Tangier. At Sedgemoor (1685) it also captured the Duke of Monmouth's Standard.

UNIFORM.--Scarlet and Sea-Green facings (1661-1768; sea-green was the favourite colour of Queen Catherine; see also "Badges"); Scarlet with Blue facings (from 1768). TERRITORIAL BADGES.--"The Paschal Lamb" (the crest of the house of Braganza) with the mottoes, "_Pristinæ virtutis memor_" and "_Vel exuviæ triumphant_." Also "The Royal Cypher within the Garter." Also "The Sphinx," for Egypt (1801). NICKNAMES.--"Kirke's Lambs" (during the Monmouth Rebellion, 1683, under the Colonelcy of Piercy Kirke the reputation of the regiment was none of the best). "The Sleepy Queen's" (at Almeida, 1810, they carelessly allowed General Brennier to escape). "The Governor's Regiment" (on its formation for service in Tangier). NOTES.--Tangier was part of the dowry of Catherine of Braganza, the Queen of Charles II. "The Paschal Lamb" is the crest of the royal house of Braganza, and the facings (sea-green) on formation were also in honour of the Queen. For gallantry at Tongres it received its title in 1703; also possibly its _second_ motto ("Even the Remnant Triumph"), a most desperate resistance of twenty-eight hours' duration having there been offered to the French attack. The other motto ("Mindful of Ancient Valour") is thought to refer to Marlborough's Spanish campaigns, in which it saw much service, besides having been specially selected for reinforcements.

Facings.--At first Yellow, subsequently changed to Green; in 1832 a "faded-leaf" Green; afterwards White, and now (1900) Gosling-green. REGIMENTAL AND OTHER BADGES.--"St. George and the Dragon" (adopted when "The Irish Regiment" became English). Also "The United Red and White Rose, with the Royal Crest," and the Motto "_Quo fata vocant_" (from 1751). NICKNAMES.--(1) "The Shiners" (at the time of "The Seven Years' War," from its smart appearance). Also (from Peninsula times) "The Old Bold Fifth" and "The Fighting Fifth." Also known, through being at headquarters in 1811, "Lord Wellington's Body-guard." NOTES.--For defeating a French division of Grenadiers at Wilhelmstahl (1762) it was granted the privilege of wearing Fusilier caps; also a white plume for gallantry at St. Lucia, and when it took the feathers from the caps of their French opponents. The 5th is now the only regiment retaining the distinction by a red and white hackle. At Wilhelmstahl Phœbe Hassell, the notorious "female soldier," served in the ranks. Its investment of Ciudad Rodrigo was specially commended by Lord Wellington. The territorial title was bestowed in 1782 in compliment to its Colonel, Earl Percy.

REGIMENTAL AND OTHER BADGES.--"The Antelope" (an ancient Royal Badge--in Henry VI.'s reign one of the supporters of the Royal Arms). Also "The United Red and White Rose with the Imperial Crown" (the rose is with stalk and leaves--the Tudor rose had none of these appendages--and is thought to have been the badge of all the "Holland regiments.") Also "The Rampant Bear Chained to a Ragged Staff"--"Old Neville's Crest"--borne only since the territorial re-organisation. NICKNAMES.--"Guise's Geese," "The Warwickshire Lads," "The Saucy Sixth." NOTES.--As in the case of the Northumberland Fusiliers, this is one of the regiments that returned, after service in Holland, with William of Orange in 1688. Its service has always been distinguished--it was cut up at Almanza in 1707--and the Iron Duke characterised its performance at Eschalar (Pyrenees, 1813) as "the most gallant and finest thing I have ever witnessed." Also at Niagara it won special distinction, since when its general Colonial service has been unique.

"The Sphinx" is now so worn.] NICKNAMES.--"The Old Braggs" (from its Colonel's name, 1734-51). Also "The Slashers" (the current stories to account for this sobriquet are mythical). "The Whitewashes" (of the 61st). "The Right-abouts." NOTES.--At Almanza the old 28th was all but cut to pieces: at Waterloo it captured a flag of the 25th French Infantry. The old 61st was formerly the 2nd Batt. of The 3rd Buffs, and so retained its Buff facings. BIBLIOGRAPHY.--_Narrative of The Campaigns of The 28th Regiment._ From 1862.

NOTES.--On its way to Bengal in 1824, part of the old 31st was on board the East Indiaman _Kent_ when burnt in the Bay of Biscay.

On appointments various special devices--combining "A Bugle with Strings," "The Coronet of the Duke of Cornwall," "The County Badge," with Motto, "One and All," "A Turreted Archway," and "Two Feathers" (red). [The "Turreted Archway" commemorates the defence of "Lucknow;" and the "Two Red Feathers" is a distinction of the 46th, a Light company of which, in 1777, with others were brigaded as "The Light Battalion." The Americans were so harassed by the Brigade that they vowed "No Quarter." In derision, to prevent mistakes, The Light Battalion dyed their feathers red: the 46th Foot alone has retained the distinction.] NICKNAMES, &C.--These pertain to the late 46th: "Murray's Bucks" (from Colonel's name [1743-64] and its smart appearance on home duty in Scottish Royal livery). "The Surprisers" (from an incident [1777] in the American War). "The Lacedemonians" (its Colonel once, when under heavy fire, made a disciplinarian speech concerning the Lacedemonians). Also, in early days, "The Edinburgh Regiment." "The Red Feathers." "The Docs" (the initials).

UNIFORM.--1st Batt., 1725 to 1739, the Highland dress with the tartans of the respective captains; 1739 to 1758, Red with Buff facings and "the 42nd tartan"; 1758 to present time, Red with Dark Blue facings. 2nd Batt., as the 42nd, and also as the 73rd, the Highland garb and "42nd tartan" were long in wear. Subsequently (_circa_ 1786) Scarlet, with Dark Green facings, was adopted. REGIMENTAL BADGES.--"The Royal Cypher within the Garter." The badge and motto of the Order of the Thistle. Also (in each of the four corners) the Royal Cypher ensigned with the Imperial Crown. Also "The Sphinx" (for Egypt, 1801). NOTES.--The 1st Battalion of this famous corps, the oldest Highland regiment in the British army, was raised (_circa_ 1725-29) from six Independent companies of Highlanders. Its sombre dress of black, blue, and green tartan gave rise to its popular name. To enumerate its services is simply to narrate the military history of Great Britain since the early part of the last century. Hardly a campaign has been conducted, or a battle fought, in which the Black Watch--one battalion or the other, or both in company--has not participated; always with bravery, and frequently with conspicuous gallantry. Thereto its record of services abundantly testifies. At Fontenoy, Ticonderoga, and at Bushy Run "extraordinary" and "unexampled" gallantry was shown. It received Royal distinction in its change of title in 1758, and was privileged to wear the red heckle in the bonnet, in recognition of its conduct at the battle of Guildermalsen in 1795. In Egypt (in 1801, for which it bears "The Sphinx"), before Alexandria, it captured the Standard of the French Invincible Legion. Since then it has heaped fame on fame, and added "honour" to "honour" to its Colours. Nor has the 2nd Battalion (raised in Perthshire in 1758 as the 2nd Battalion of the 42nd, but, renumbered, long known as the 73rd prior to the territorial restoration of the ancient status) failed to win fresh laurels as occasion arose. At Mangalore (1783) against Tippoo Sahib, and side by side with the senior battalion at Waterloo, in the Netherlands, in the Indian Mutiny, and in the Kaffir wars of 1846-53, it has worthily sustained the undying fame of the regiment. Recent events in South Africa show that neither the officers nor the men of to-day have lost one iota of that traditional dash, determination, and bravery which have won for the Black Watch so glorious a place in British military annals.

Amongst other badges not specified in official lists are (1) "A Laurel Wreath, with Albuera" (an old 57th badge for gallantry at that battle); (2) "The County Arms." NICKNAMES.--"The Die-Hards," for stubborn valour at Albuera, by which the 57th practically insured victory; at the finish the Colours were riddled by thirty bullets, and the survivors numbered one officer in twenty-four, and 168 men out of 584. Colonel Inglis rallied his men again and again by "Die hard, my men, die hard!" The 57th had previously been known as "The Steelbacks," from the frequency with which its men, largely recruited by militiamen from London, were flogged. "The Pothooks" (the 77th), from the two sevens in its number. NOTES.--The 77th at El-Bodon was specially commended by Lord Wellington for "steadiness, discipline and confidence" when largely outnumbered.

NOTES.--For its defence, in 1760, against the French, of the Castle of Carrickfergus it at one time wore a "splash" on the buttons. After the ammunition was expended bricks and stones were thrown, and, so the story runs, their buttons were used as bullets. The 99th were raised in Lanarkshire--hence its former county title.

UNIFORM.--1st Batt., Scarlet, Buff facings, and the Mackenzie tartan, with chako instead of feather bonnet (from 1777). 2nd Batt., Scarlet and grass Green facings (from 1758 till 1881). REGIMENTAL BADGES.--That in the _Army List_ is "The Elephant" with "Assaye"; but on the chako-plate and collar a special design is worn, combining "The Star of the Order of the Thistle" with "The Crown" as on the collar of the Order of the Star of India (for distinction gained by each battalion in India); a Horn on the Star with monogram H.L.I, surmounting a scroll with "Assaye" and "The Elephant" (without howdah or trappings) below. NICKNAME.--"The Pig and Whistle Light Infantry." NOTES.--The two veteran regiments now known as the 1st and 2nd Highland Light Infantry possess the longest "honour" record (twenty-nine in all) of any British regiment whatsoever, save the King's Royal Rifle Corps, which have thirty-two all told. The roll commences with "Carnatic," won by the 1st Batt. in the Hyder Ali campaign, seconded by the laurels of the 2nd Batt. at the Siege of Seringapatam, in which on several occasions it particularly distinguished itself. The same battalion contributed "Assaye" (with "The Elephant"). It is recorded that in this battle "Every officer present, save one, was killed or wounded, and the battalion reduced to a mere wreck." "Assaye" is an honour shared only with The Seaforths and The 19th Hussars. For its services in India the Honourable East India Company presented it (1803) with a complimentary Colour. Henceforward honours fell thick and fast on both battalions--at the Cape, particularly so throughout the Peninsula campaign, in the Kaffir wars of 1851-53 (a large draft of its men went down in the ill-fated _Birkenhead_), at the Crimea, in the Indian Mutiny, and more latterly in the Egyptian campaigns of the eighties.

UNIFORM.--1st Batt., Scarlet with Buff facings, and the "Mackenzie" tartan (from 1778, but in 1823 the tartan was changed to "Stuart," as directed by the Commander-in-Chief, Duke of York and Albany; subsequently the "Mackenzie" tartan was revived). The hackle is white. 2nd Batt., Scarlet with Buff facings and the "Mackenzie" tartan; from date of "linking" the facings have matched those of the 1st Batt. REGIMENTAL BADGES, MOTTOES, &C.--The Coronet and Cypher of the late Duke of York (who was also Duke of Albany); also, subsequently, the Cypher of the late Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany; also a Stag's Head (the cognisance of the Earls of Seaforth); also an Elephant (without howdah and trappings) with "Assaye" on scroll underneath; also a Thistle bearing the Star of the Order of the Thistle, with circle superimposed, within which is the Cypher (F) of the late Duke of York, surmounted by the Ducal Coronet. _Mottoes._--(1) _Cuidich'n Righ_ (Help, to the King): this, with the Stag's Head, appertains to the Mackenzies, and, according to tradition, was bestowed through the founder of the clan having saved the life of King Alexander II. of Scotland when attacked by a wounded stag. Borne by the Ross-shire Buffs from the first: officially recognised in 1825. (2) _Caber Feidh_ (The Antlers of the Deer), the Seaforth slogan; and (3) _Tulloch ard_ (The High Hill), the old gathering-ground of the Mackenzies on Loch Duich in Ross-shire. NICKNAMES.--(1) "The Regiment of the Macraes" (from the large proportion of men of this name in the 72nd when raised); also (2) "The Wild Macraes" (when in Edinburgh their doings seriously frightened the inhabitants); (3) "The King's Men" (from the ancient motto of the 78th, "Help, to the King"). NOTES, &C.--Both Batts. are successors of the old 78th (Highland) Regiment of Foot--Fraser's Highlanders--which saw much service under General Wolfe; disbanded in 1763. The second 78th was raised in 1778 by Kenneth Mackenzie, Earl of Seaforth, was renumbered as the 72nd in 1786, and is the direct ancestor of the present 1st Seaforth Highlanders. Seven years later the present 2nd Seaforth Highlanders were raised as The 78th (Highland) Regiment of Foot, being also known, shortly afterwards, as the Ross-shire Buffs. The combined battle-roll of honour is much the same as that of the Black Watch and the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. "Assaye" (in 1803) was specially recognised by the Honourable East India Company presenting honorary colours to the late 78th (2nd Batt.). Half a century later, during the Mutiny, it rendered unparalleled service under Havelock, Outram, and Clive, adding "Lucknow" to the Colours, while its achievements in "Central India," "Afghanistan," "Kabul," "Kandahar," "Egypt," and "Tel-el-Kebir" are well within living memory.

UNIFORM.--Red, with deep Yellow facings, and the Gordon tartan bearing a yellow distinguishing stripe (the Marquis of Huntly, who raised the late 92nd, 2nd Batt., became the fifth Duke of Gordon). The hackle is white. REGIMENTAL BADGES, &C.--"The Sphinx" (for Egypt), and "The Royal Tiger" (for India). In the device on buttons and waist-plate these are shown in the upper and lower divisions of the St. Andrew Cross, with "Egypt" and "India" underneath, respectively; also within a scroll, inscribed "Gordon Highlanders," on the centre of the cross, and resting on a thistle wreath, is worn the crest (a stag's head issuing from the ducal coronet) of the Marquis of Huntly. NICKNAME.--"The Gay Gordons." NOTES, &C.--Both regiments were raised in Scotland, the 75th specially for service in India at the instance and cost of the late Honourable East India Company, receiving on its return "The Royal Tiger" in recognition of nineteen years of eventful and arduous service. Fifty years later it again fought in India through the Mutiny. During this period the 2nd Batt., as the late 92nd, was distinguishing itself in Holland, in Egypt (with special distinction at Mandora), and particularly in the Peninsula Campaigns of 1809-14, no less than seven "honours" falling to its share. Fresh laurels were won at Quatre Bras in company with the Black Watch and the Royal Scots. Of its later exploits only the barest mention can be made--of its services in the Indian Mutiny, in Afghanistan (1878-80), including Kabul and the march to Kandahar and the rest--the emblazonments on the "Colours" tell a sufficiently emphatic story.

NICKNAME.--"The Rory's." NOTES.--The old 91st was raised at Stirling by the Duke of Argyll: hence its title, crest, and motto. The Cape was the scene of its first campaign, since which it, with its companion battalion, has seen much service--a forty-one years' combined record--in South Africa. Its "honours" were, however, chiefly won in the Peninsular campaigns at the beginning of the century. The 2nd Batt. was also raised in Scotland from the Sutherland Fencible Highlanders, and has had a most distinguished career from then till now. Little need to dwell on its prowess. Who amongst us does not remember, or who has not read of that "thin red line" drawn up by Colin Campbell to resist the onslaught of the Russian Horse at Balaclava; how the 93rd stood their ground, successfully stemming and finally repulsing that memorable charge; how it alone of all regiments of foot enjoys the proud distinction of "Balaclava" on its "colours"? And surely there is still less need to tell how a few months later, in the Mutiny, and especially at Lucknow, this famous corps added new and undying laurels to its regimental record--a record which is in the memory or ken of all.

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE Italic text is denoted by _underscores_. Bold text is denoted by =equal signs=. There are five occurrences of a regimental badge identity portrayed as a large-text fraction without a -- under the 'numerator'. These have been modified in the etext to V/D.G. 7/DG 4/H XX/H and XXI/H. The two footnotes in the text have been placed at the end of the section where the reference (anchor) is. Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within the text and consultation of external sources. Except for those changes noted below, all misspellings in the text, and inconsistent or archaic usage, have been retained. For example, re-named, renamed; body-guard, bodyguard; Neer Landen, Neer-Landen; Belle Isle, Belle-Isle. Pg 162, '1741-51. Colonel James Long' replaced by '1749-51...'. Pg 197, 'no less that seven' replaced by 'no less than seven'. Pg 203, 'The 89th ... London: Parker. 1842.' The year 1842 is clearly incorrect, but has been retained since the correct year is unknown. *** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE REGIMENTAL RECORDS OF THE BRITISH ARMY *** Updated editions will replace the previous one—the old editions will be renamed.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™ Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org. Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws. The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate. While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate. Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org. This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
