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).</p> - -<p><span class="smcap">Notes.</span>—The 1st Battalion of this famous corps, the oldest Highland regiment in the British army, was -raised (<em>circa</em> 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.</p> - -<p><span class="smcap">Bibliography.</span>—<cite>Historical Record of the 42nd, or Royal Highland Regiment of Foot.</cite> 1729-1844. -Illustrated.
