UNIFORM.--1st Batt., Scarlet and Buff facings (in 1689). 2nd
Batt., Scarlet and Yellow facings (in 1854). Both wear Scarlet
and Blue facings at the present time.

REGIMENTAL AND OTHER BADGES.--"The Castle of Inniskilling with
St. George's Colours" (in recognition of the defence of the
Castle of Inniskilling in 1691). Also "The White Horse" (of
Hanover), with the Motto, "_Nec aspera terrent_" (for services
during the Jacobite rising of 1715). Also "The Sphinx" for
"Egypt" (1801).

NOTES.--Formed from three Companies of the Inniskilling forces.
It is unique in using the old Irish war-pipes. While employed on
the Isthmus of Darien all but nine of six hundred men succumbed.
For distinguished gallantry at St. Lucia, in 1696, it was
directed that the French garrison in marching out should lay down
their arms to the 27th, other marks of favour being likewise
accorded to the officers and men of the regiment.

NICKNAME.--"The Lumps."

UNIFORM.--Scarlet and Yellow facings (1st Batt. in 1742), and
Scarlet and Buff facings (2nd Batt. in 1758). Now Scarlet with
White facings.

REGIMENTAL BADGE.--"The Sphinx" for "Egypt," 1801. [The unique
distinction of wearing the Regimental number both in front
and at the back of the cap was bestowed on the old 28th for
distinguished conduct at Alexandria (1801), having been then
engaged with the enemy front and rear. "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.

before, 1773, but why is not known).

Foot from their facings). "The Star (or Guard) of the Line." The

II. having, through the similarity of the facings, mistaken it at
Dettingen for the 3rd (or "Old ") Buffs). "The Glasgow Greys" (of
the late 70th), from its facings and many Glasgow men serving in
its ranks.

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.
It specially distinguished itself in the Sikh War by capturing a
colour at Ferozeshah, another at Aliwal, and two more at Sobraon.

UNIFORM.--1st Batt., Scarlet with White facings (at formation as
now). 2nd Batt., Scarlet with Yellow facings (in 1741: the latter
now White as with all non-"Royal" regiments).

REGIMENTAL AND OTHER BADGES.--Officially, "The United Red and
White Rose," but not worn. 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.]

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.

UNIFORM.--Scarlet and White facings (1st Batt.) and Scarlet with
Buff facings (2nd Batt.) from formation; both battalions have
White facings at present time.

REGIMENTAL AND OTHER BADGES.--"The Red Rose of Lancaster." Also
"The King's (or Royal) Crest of England" (which is also the badge
of the Duchy of Lancaster, and is said to have been conferred on
the 47th when raised in Scotland). Also on some appointments "The
Arms of the City of Lincoln."

NICKNAMES, &C.--"Wolfe's Own" (of the 47th at Quebec--the black
worm in the gold lace, as now worn, is in memory of the Hero of
Quebec). "The Cauliflowers" (of the 47th, in allusion to its
white facings, an unusual colour when the corps was raised). "The
Lancashire Lads" (also of the 47th--from its county title).

NOTES.--This is the only regiment entitled "Loyal," but the term
was originally applied, not to the Lancashire, but to the Lincoln
battalion. When raised the Lincoln Militia volunteered in a body.
