Part 7

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."

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.

[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.]

NICKNAMES, &C.--These pertain to the late 46th: "Murray's 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).
