(8) The (late) Madras Artillery. (9) The (late) Bombay Artillery. PRINCIPAL CAMPAIGNS, BATTLES, &c. One arm or other of this branch of the Service has, obviously, taken part in every campaign : a particularised list is therefore unnecessary. The guns are the "Colours" of the Artillery, and as such are entitled to all "parade honours." Formerly, regimental honours appear to have been worn by certain companies. Amongst such were " Niagara," " Leipsic," " Waterloo," and " The Dragon of China." 63 TLbc IRogal IRegiment of Uvtillcv'Q— continued. Uniform. — Blue with Scarlet facings. Plume, White. Regtmental Badges. — The Royal Arms and Supporters, with a Cannon. The mottoes, " Ubique " (Everywhere) over, and " Qiw fas et o;lori ducunt " ("Whither Right and Glory lead us") under the gun. Nicknames. — -" The Gunners ; " " The Four-wheeled Hussars" (of the Royal Horse Artillery). Notes. — Trains of artillery seem first to have been raised in the time of Henry VHI. ; and up to 1716 appear to have been disbanded after each campaign. In 17 16 several companies received permanent corporate existence, since which the exigencies of modern warfare have led to an enormous increase in the number of batteries. But, from first to last the record of the Royal Artiller)- has been one of distinction, and it may fitly be said to share the honours of all other regiments. The Royal Irish Artillery were absorbed in 1801, and the East India Company's Artillery in 1858. BinLiOGRAPHY. — History of the Royal Regiment of Artillery. Compiled from the original Records.

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.

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.

"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 1 703 ; 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.

Notes. — The Regiment of Buffs possesses the privilege of marching unhindered through the City of London with drums beating — a relic of Elizabethan days.

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 Phoebe 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.

Notes. — As in the case of the Northumberland Fusiliers, this is one of the regiments that returned, after service in Holland, with Wilham 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.

In retiring from the field the regiment covered the retreat of General Lord Galway, a most arduous, hazardous, and difficult service.

[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 Battahon."

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).

Also (in each of the four corners) the Royal Cypher ensigned with the Imperial Crown. Also " The Sphinx" (for Egypt, 1801). Notes. — The ist Battalion of this famous corps, the oldest Highland regiment in the British army, was raised {circa 1725-29) from six Independent companies of Highlanders. Its sombre dress of black, blue, and green tartan gave rise to its popular name. To enumerate its services is simply to narrate (he military history of Great Britain since the early part of the last century. Hardly a campaign has been conducted, or a battle fought, in which the Black Watch — one battalion or the other, or both in company — has not participated ; always with bravery, and frequently \\\\\x conspicuous gallantry. Thereto its record of services abundantly testifies. At Fontenoy, Ticonderoga, and at Bushy Run "extraordinary" and "unexampled" gallantry was shown. It received Royal distinction in its change of title in 1758, and was privileged to wear the red heckle in the bonnet, in recognition of its conduct at the battle of Guildermalsen in 1795. In Egypt (in 1801, for which it bears "The Sphinx"), before Alexandria, it captured the Standard of the French Invincible Legion. Since then it has heaped fame on fame, and added "honour" to "honour" to its Colours. Nor has the 2nd Battalion (raised in Perthshire in 1758 as the 2nd Battalion of the 42nd, but, renumbered, long known as the 73rd prior to the territorial restoration of the ancient status) failed to win fresh laurels as occasion arose. At Mangalore (1783) against Tippoo Sahib, and side by side with the senior battalion at Waterloo, in the Netherlands, in the Indian Mutiny, and in the Kaffir wars of 1846-53, it has worthily sustained the undying fame of the regiment. Recent events in South Africa show that neither the officers nor the men of to-day have lost one iota of that traditional dash, determination, and bravery which have won for the Black Watch so glorious a place in British military annals.

" 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).

Nicknames. — " The Die-Hards," for stubborn valour at Albuera, 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.
