UNIFORM.--1st Batt., Scarlet with Buff facings (when raised). 2nd
Batt., Scarlet with Grey facings (1758-68); Scarlet and Black
facings (1768). Both Batts. (from 1881), Scarlet with White
facings.
REGIMENTAL AND OTHER BADGES.--"The United Red and White Rose" was
suggested for this as for other regiments when territorialised,
and, though not used, still retains a place in official papers.
Also "A Star and Arms of Guildford"--these are the old badges of
the Militia battalions.
NICKNAMES, &C.--"The Young Buffs" (of the late 31st, King George
II. having, through the similarity of the facings, mistaken it at
Dettingen for the 3rd (or "Old ") Buffs). "The Glasgow Greys" (of
the late 70th), from its facings and many Glasgow men serving in
its ranks.
NOTES.--On its way to Bengal in 1824, part of the old 31st was on
board the East Indiaman _Kent_ when burnt in the Bay of Biscay.
It specially distinguished itself in the Sikh War by capturing a
colour at Ferozeshah, another at Aliwal, and two more at Sobraon.
