UNIFORM.--1st Batt., Scarlet with White facings (at formation as
now). 2nd Batt., Scarlet with Yellow facings (in 1741: the latter
now White as with all non-"Royal" regiments).
REGIMENTAL AND OTHER BADGES.--Officially, "The United Red and
White Rose," but not worn. On appointments various special
devices--combining "A Bugle with Strings," "The Coronet of the
Duke of Cornwall," "The County Badge," with Motto, "One and All,"
"A Turreted Archway," and "Two Feathers" (red). [The "Turreted
Archway" commemorates the defence of "Lucknow;" and the "Two Red
Feathers" is a distinction of the 46th, a Light company of which,
in 1777, with others were brigaded as "The Light Battalion." The
Americans were so harassed by the Brigade that they vowed "No
Quarter." In derision, to prevent mistakes, The Light Battalion
dyed their feathers red: the 46th Foot alone has retained the
distinction.]
NICKNAMES, &C.--These pertain to the late 46th: "Murray's
Bucks" (from Colonel's name [1743-64] and its smart appearance
on home duty in Scottish Royal livery). "The Surprisers" (from
an incident [1777] in the American War). "The Lacedemonians"
(its Colonel once, when under heavy fire, made a disciplinarian
speech concerning the Lacedemonians). Also, in early days,
"The Edinburgh Regiment." "The Red Feathers." "The Docs" (the
initials).
