UNIFORM.--1st Batt., Scarlet and Buff facings (in 1689). 2nd
Batt., Scarlet and Yellow facings (in 1854). Both wear Scarlet
and Blue facings at the present time.
REGIMENTAL AND OTHER BADGES.--"The Castle of Inniskilling with
St. George's Colours" (in recognition of the defence of the
Castle of Inniskilling in 1691). Also "The White Horse" (of
Hanover), with the Motto, "_Nec aspera terrent_" (for services
during the Jacobite rising of 1715). Also "The Sphinx" for
"Egypt" (1801).
NOTES.--Formed from three Companies of the Inniskilling forces.
It is unique in using the old Irish war-pipes. While employed on
the Isthmus of Darien all but nine of six hundred men succumbed.
For distinguished gallantry at St. Lucia, in 1696, it was
directed that the French garrison in marching out should lay down
their arms to the 27th, other marks of favour being likewise
accorded to the officers and men of the regiment.
