It bore a “Bugle Horn” before the badge of “The Maltese Cross” was adopted, which probably took place when the names of victories were first granted. It was at first surmounted with a figure of “Fame.” The Cross was surmounted by a Crown about 1830.

It ranks next to the 93rd Sutherland Highlanders.

and “The Royal Cypher.”

It received its Title in 1802, in commemoration of its services during the late war.

Six Marine Regiments were raised in 1702, three were disbanded in 1713, and the others are the present 30th Cambridgeshire, the 31st Huntingdonshire, and the 32nd Cornwall Light Infantry.
