UNIFORM.--1st Batt., Scarlet with Yellow facings (in 1702);
Scarlet with White facings (present time) for both Battalions.
The old 36th Foot wore Scarlet with Green facings from 1742 to
the time of the territorial re-arrangement, when all non-"Royal"
regiments assumed "White" for their facings.
REGIMENTAL AND OTHER BADGES.--"The United Red and White Rose"
(since 1881). Also "Firm" (worn by the old 36th since, if not
before, 1773, but why is not known).
NICKNAMES.--"The Ever-Sworded 29th" (supposed to date back to
1746, from a regimental usage that all officers wore their swords
at mess; now confined to the Captain and Subaltern of the day).
"The Old Bold" (of the 29th). "The Saucy Greens" (of the 36th
Foot from their facings). "The Star (or Guard) of the Line." The
"Vein-openers."
NOTES.--The 29th captured a standard from the French at Talavera
(1809). Its quick-step--the Royal Windsor March--was presented by
the Princess Augusta.
