NICKNAMES, &C.--"The Coldstreamers." "The Nulli Secundus Club."

NOTES.--The Regiment of Coldstream Guards is the direct and only
descendant of the Parliamentary Infantry, all other corps having
been disbanded at the Restoration. It derives its name from
Monck's march from Coldstream to restore Charles II.

The Irish Guards.

By an Army Order (No. 77, April, 1900), "Her Majesty the Queen, having deemed it desirable to commemorate the bravery shown by the Irish regiments in the recent operations in South Africa, has been graciously pleased to command that an Irish regiment of Foot Guards be formed. 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[?].

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.

Buffs").

NOTES.--The Regiment of Buffs possesses the privilege of marching
unhindered through the City of London with drums beating--a relic
of Elizabethan days. At Punniar it captured eleven guns and a
standard.

corps. The present 2nd Battalion was formed in 1858.

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.

UNIFORM.--Red and Deep Yellow facings (1673-1832); Scarlet with
Blue facings (since 1832).

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.

officers and had 300 killed and wounded out of 467. In retiring
from the field the regiment covered the retreat of General
Lord Galway, a most arduous, hazardous, and difficult service.
The regiment thus upheld the honour of Great Britain, and was
rewarded for it by Queen Anne by allowing them to wear the figure
of Britannia on their breastplates."--General BAINBRIDGE, _in
1848, when presenting new Colours_.

NICKNAMES, &C.--"The Holy Boys" (tradition says, for selling
Bibles for drink in the Peninsula; but tradition likewise says
because the Spaniards mistook the figure of Britannia on their
belts for the Virgin Mary). "The Fighting Ninth." "The Norfolk
Howards."
