"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. - - BIBLIOGRAPHY.--_Historical Record of the 2nd, or Queen's Royal - Regiment of Foot_ 1661-1837.

The - badge and motto of the Order of the Thistle. Also (in each of the - four corners) the Royal Cypher ensigned with the Imperial Crown. - Also "The Sphinx" (for Egypt, 1801). - - NOTES.--The 1st 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 the - 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 with 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. - - BIBLIOGRAPHY.--_Historical Record of the 42nd, or Royal Highland - Regiment of Foot._ 1729-1844.

The same battalion contributed - "Assaye" (with "The Elephant"). It is recorded that in this - battle "Every officer present, save one, was killed or wounded, - and the battalion reduced to a mere wreck." "Assaye" is an honour - shared only with The Seaforths and The 19th Hussars. For its - services in India the Honourable East India Company presented it - (1803) with a complimentary Colour. Henceforward honours fell - thick and fast on both battalions--at the Cape, particularly - so throughout the Peninsula campaign, in the Kaffir wars of - 1851-53 (a large draft of its men went down in the ill-fated - _Birkenhead_), at the Crimea, in the Indian Mutiny, and more - latterly in the Egyptian campaigns of the eighties. - - BIBLIOGRAPHY.--_Historical Record of The 71st Regiment Highland - Light Infantry._ 1777-1852.

Borne by the Ross-shire Buffs - from the first: officially recognised in 1825. (2) _Caber Feidh_ - (The Antlers of the Deer), the Seaforth slogan; and (3) _Tulloch - ard_ (The High Hill), the old gathering-ground of the Mackenzies - on Loch Duich in Ross-shire. - - NICKNAMES.--(1) "The Regiment of the Macraes" (from the large - proportion of men of this name in the 72nd when raised); also - (2) "The Wild Macraes" (when in Edinburgh their doings seriously - frightened the inhabitants); (3) "The King's Men" (from the - ancient motto of the 78th, "Help, to the King"). - - NOTES, &C.--Both Batts. are successors of the old 78th (Highland) - Regiment of Foot--Fraser's Highlanders--which saw much service - under General Wolfe; disbanded in 1763. The second 78th was - raised in 1778 by Kenneth Mackenzie, Earl of Seaforth, was - renumbered as the 72nd in 1786, and is the direct ancestor of the - present 1st Seaforth Highlanders. Seven years later the present - 2nd Seaforth Highlanders were raised as The 78th (Highland) - Regiment of Foot, being also known, shortly afterwards, as the - Ross-shire Buffs. The combined battle-roll of honour is much the - same as that of the Black Watch and the Argyll and Sutherland - Highlanders. "Assaye" (in 1803) was specially recognised by the - Honourable East India Company presenting honorary colours to the - late 78th (2nd Batt.). Half a century later, during the Mutiny, - it rendered unparalleled service under Havelock, Outram, and - Clive, adding "Lucknow" to the Colours, while its achievements in - "Central India," "Afghanistan," "Kabul," "Kandahar," "Egypt," and - "Tel-el-Kebir" are well within living memory. - - BIBLIOGRAPHY.--_Historical Records of The 72nd Regiment, or Duke - of Albany's Own Highlanders._ 1778-1848.

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. - - BIBLIOGRAPHY.--_Historical Records of The 91st Argyllshire - Highlanders (now the 1st Battalion Argyll and Sutherland - Highlanders)._ From the formation of the Regiment in 1794 to - 1881.
