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[?].

It received its title in 1684 in recognition of the capture of a Colour from the Moors at Tangier. At Sedgemoor (1685) it also captured the Duke of Monmouth's Standard.

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.

NICKNAMES, &C.--"The Buff Howards" (1737-49--from its Colonel's name). "The Nutcrackers," and "The Resurrectionists" (at Albuera it is said to have shown despatch in cracking the heads, and to have rallied after dispersal at the hands of the Polish Lancers). "The Old Buffs" (to distinguish it from the 31st, the "Young 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.

It became a "Royal" regiment in recognition of its devotion to William III. From 1704 to 1710 it served as a Marine corps. The present 2nd Battalion was formed in 1858.

NOTES.--For defeating a French division of Grenadiers at Wilhelmstahl (1762) it was granted the privilege of wearing 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.

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.
