[22] "The behaviour of the officers in general was very brave, nor are some regiments unworthy of great praise; viz., Barrell's (KING'S OWN), Price's, and some others."--_General Advertizer._ "The regiments which distinguished themselves were Barrell's (KING'S OWN) and Ligonier's foot."--_Ibid._ [23] "General Barrell's regiment (the KING'S OWN) gained the greatest reputation imaginable at the late engagement, the best of the clans having made their strongest efforts to break them, but without effect; for the old Tangiereenes bravely repulsed those boasters with a dreadful slaughter, and convinced them that their broad sword and target are unequal to the musket and bayonet when in the hands of veterans who are determined to use them. After the battle there was not a bayonet of this regiment but was either bloody or bent." "The battle was so desperate that the soldiers' bayonets were stained with blood to the muzzles of their musquets." "There was scarce an officer or soldier of Barrell's (KING'S OWN) and that part of Munro's (now thirty-seventh) which engaged, who did not kill one or two men each with their bayonets," &c.--_Particulars of the Battle of Culloden published at the time._ [24] The exact time when the regiment obtained the LION OF ENGLAND for its badge has not been ascertained. A tradition has long existed in the corps that it was conferred by King William III., in consequence of its being the first corps which joined him after he landed at Torbay, in November, 1688; but on searching the details of the events which occurred at that period, it appears that this was _not_ the _first_ regiment which joined his Majesty; that only the colonel, lieut.-colonel, a few other officers, and about thirty soldiers, joined King William; and that the regiment adhered to King James until he vacated the throne. It is probable, however, that this distinguished badge was conferred by King William III. for the attachment which the regiment evinced to his person and government and to the protestant cause.
