UNIFORM.--1st Batt., Scarlet with Blue facings (1719-82); Scarlet
with Scarlet facings (1782-1822); Scarlet with White facings
(from 1822). 2nd Batt., Scarlet with Green facings (from 1758).
1st and 2nd Batts., Scarlet and White facings (present time).
REGIMENTAL AND OTHER BADGES.--"The Rose and Thistle on the same
stalk within the Garter." Also "The Prince of Wales's Plume,"
with the motto, "_Gwell angua na Chywilydd_" (received with its
title in 1822). Also "The Royal Cypher with the Imperial Crown."
The foregoing are recognised in the _Army List_, but "The Dragon
of Wales" also appears on some appointments.
NICKNAMES.--At St. Vincent (1797) Nelson dubbed the detachment
of the 69th, serving as Marines, his "Old Agamemnons." "The Ups
and Downs" (of the late 69th)--the number can be read either way.
"Wardour's Horse."
NOTES.--Since its return from India in 1826 the 69th had been
unfortunate enough to miss every chance of active service until
sent to South Africa in 1900.
