NICKNAMES.--"The Blind Half-Hundred" (of the late 50th, many
of its men suffering severely from ophthalmia in Egypt, 1801).
"The Dirty Half-Hundred" (at Vimiera, where the 50th fought with
much distinction; Major Napier wrote their faces were "begrimed
with powder as black as their own lapels"). "The Devil's Royals"
(also of the 50th). "The Gallant Fiftieth" (this sobriquet was
likewise bestowed for gallantry at Vimiera, 900 "tumbling down
on Laborde's division of French [5,300 strong] amidst a fearful
war-cry, and with a shock that nothing could withstand"--so also
wrote Major Napier). "The Celestials" (from the Sky-blue facings
of the 97th raised by the Earl of Ulster, the colour being that
of the ribbon of the Order of St. Patrick).
NOTES.--Its county connection apparently dates from the time of
the American War, when its Colonel was one of the distinguished
Kentish Wilson family, who also have been intimately connected
with the Kentish Militia.

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.

Scarlet with White facings for both batts.

the 62nd in 1806, and the Regulation Star and Wreath).
NICKNAME.--"The Springers" (tradition says that the 62nd was
so called from its employment as a light battalion during the
American War in 1777).
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.

Coronet," "The Boar's Head" (the Campbell crest), and "_Ne
obliviscaris_." Also "A Cat" and "_Sans peur_" (the Sutherland
cognisance).
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.
