                               HISTORY AND TRADITIONS.

The Regiment was raised in 1741.  It served under Wolfe

in the capture of Quebec in 1759, and in the subsequent con-

quest of Canada.  It took part in the campaign against

Tippoo Sahib in 1790-1.  It was present at the capture of 

Martinique and Guadaloupe in 1794, and at the capture of

Copenhagen in 1807.  As part of the Light Division in the 

Peninsular War it was famous for its conspicuous gallantry

on all and every occasion.  At Waterloo it more than upheld 

its glorious traditions.  It served in the Kaffir War, 1851-3,

and, that its discipline was equal to its bravery, was shown

by the conduct of the men at the wreck of the "Birkenhead,"

1852.  During the Indian Mutiny it was continuously engaged

with the rebels, and fully maintained its high reputation.

It was in the New Zealand War, 1864-6, and the Tirah

Expedition, 1897-8.  During the South African War it 

distinguished itself at Klip Drift and Paarderberg, and per-

formed  excellent service until peace was proclaimed.
