NOTES.--The old 91st was raised at Stirling by the Duke of
Argyll: hence its title, crest, and motto. The Cape was the
scene of its first campaign, since which it, with its companion
battalion, has seen much service--a forty-one years' combined
record--in South Africa. Its "honours" were, however, chiefly
won in the Peninsular campaigns at the beginning of the century.
The 2nd Batt. was also raised in Scotland from the Sutherland
Fencible Highlanders, and has had a most distinguished career
from then till now. Little need to dwell on its prowess. Who
amongst us does not remember, or who has not read of that "thin
red line" drawn up by Colin Campbell to resist the onslaught of
the Russian Horse at Balaclava; how the 93rd stood their ground,
successfully stemming and finally repulsing that memorable
charge; how it alone of all regiments of foot enjoys the proud
distinction of "Balaclava" on its "colours"? And surely there is
still less need to tell how a few months later, in the Mutiny,
and especially at Lucknow, this famous corps added new and
undying laurels to its regimental record--a record which is in
the memory or ken of all.
