UNIFORM.--Scarlet, with Blue facings (1755 to 1814); Green, with
Scarlet facings (present time).
REGIMENTAL AND OTHER BADGES.--Among those appearing on the
appointments but not in the _Army List_ are "The Royal Cypher
within the Garter, surmounted by a Crown," and "A Maltese Cross."
Also formerly "The White Horse" (of Hanover). Motto, "_Celer et
Audax_" ("Swift and Bold," bestowed, according to tradition, by
General Wolfe in recognition of its conduct before Quebec).
NOTES.--This regiment, though possessing no "Colours," bears more
honours than any other regiment, the Highland Light Infantry
coming next with twenty-nine.
