During the year 1828 the regiment furnished several detachments to the neighbouring islands of Ithaca, Cerigo, Calamos, and Santa Maura; the detachment in the last-named island suffered severely from a malignant fever which raged during the months of June, July, and August, and carried off thirty-six men out of seventy-five, of which it originally consisted. On the 19th of September, the head-quarters were removed to Cephalonia, on which occasion Major-General Woodford took leave of it in the following very flattering terms:— “GARRISON ORDERS. “_Brigade-Major’s Office, Corfu, “Sept. 18th, 1828._ “Major-General Woodford will not allow the EIGHTY-EIGHTH regiment to embark without his expressing the satisfaction he feels at the invariably good conduct the regiment has maintained in the garrison.

In an official design for a new stand of colours preparing for the regiment towards the end of 1830, this device and motto were omitted. Colonel O’Malley immediately wrote to the Adjutant-General representing the case, and the strong wishes of the regiment for its retention, for the consideration of the Commander-in-Chief. His application was successful, and obtained distinct authority for the corps to continue the use of the badge to which it was so strongly and so reasonably attached. The Adjutant-General, in a letter dated from the Horse-Guards, 30th of December, 1830, says— “Sir,
