TITLES.

=1st Batt.=

1794-96. The 98th (Argyllshire Highlanders) Regiment of Foot; renumbered. 1796-1809. The 91st (Argyllshire Highlanders) Regiment of Foot. Three other corps had previously borne this number; neither had been retained longer than four years. 1809-21. The 91st Regiment of Foot; its distinctive title was probably dropped for the same reason that the Highland dress was for a time discarded, because of its supposed impediment to recruiting. 1821-64.

UNIFORM, &C.--Scarlet, with bright Yellow facings, and the Sutherland tartan.

REGIMENTAL BADGES, &C.--"The Princess Louise's Cypher and 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.
