The Border Regiment alone among the regiments of the Army bears the
battle honour of "Arroyo dos Molinos," although a number of regiments
took part in that great battle.
The Welsh Regiment, like the Welsh Guards, has a motto in the Welsh
language. The former served with distinction as marines on board the
fleet under Lord Nelson.
The Black Watch wears a red hackle or feather in its bonnets, a
distinction won on the battlefield, and its pipers are the only ones in
the army wearing feather bonnets instead of glengarry caps.
