NICKNAME.--"The Gay Gordons."

NOTES, &C.--Both regiments were raised in Scotland, the 75th

specially for service in India at the instance and cost of the

late Honourable East India Company, receiving on its return

"The Royal Tiger" in recognition of nineteen years of eventful

and arduous service. Fifty years later it again fought in

India through the Mutiny. During this period the 2nd Batt., as

the late 92nd, was distinguishing itself in Holland, in Egypt

(with special distinction at Mandora), and particularly in the

Peninsula Campaigns of 1809-14, no less than seven "honours"

falling to its share. Fresh laurels were won at Quatre Bras in

company with the Black Watch and the Royal Scots. Of its later

exploits only the barest mention can be made--of its services

in the Indian Mutiny, in Afghanistan (1878-80), including Kabul

and the march to Kandahar and the rest--the emblazonments on the

"Colours" tell a sufficiently emphatic story.
