NOTES.--The old Fifth was the senior of the two regiments of
Inniskilling Dragoons, the Second being now represented by the
6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons. Marlborough specially recognised its
gallantry at Blenheim; and at Ramilies (with the Scots Greys) it
captured two French battalions, for which it, like the Greys,
was allowed to wear Grenadier caps. It was disbanded in 1798,
after good service, on the discovery of a plot by new recruits to
murder the officers and loyal men.

Antiquities_, and in the _Military Recorder_.
