The TWELFTH regiment of foot was rewarded, with the other corps which took part in this long and arduous service, with the thanks of its Sovereign, and of the Houses of Parliament, and with the honour of bearing on its colours the word 'GIBRALTAR,' with the '_Castle and Key_,' and the motto '_Montis Insignia Calpé_,' in commemoration of its services during the siege.[18] The loss of the regiment during the siege of Gibraltar was-- +-------------------------+----------+-----------+----------+---------+ | | Officers.| Serjeants.| Drummers.| Rank and| | | | | | File. | +-------------------------+----------+-----------+----------+---------+ | Killed | 1 | 3 | 1 | 13 | | Died of Wounds | | | | 10 | | Disabled by Wounds | 1 | | | 10 | | Wounded, that recovered | 2 | 4 | 7 | 89 | | Died of Diseases | | 3 | | 32 | | +----------+-----------+----------+---------+ | Total | 4 | 10 | 8 | 154 | +-------------------------+----------+-----------+----------+---------+ During the period the TWELFTH were engaged in the glorious defence of Gibraltar, county-titles were given to the several regiments of infantry, and the communication with England having become free, the TWELFTH received directions to assume the title of the 'EAST SUFFOLK REGIMENT,' and to cultivate a connection with that part of the country, in order to facilitate the recruiting of the regiment.

VIEW OF THE NORTH PART OF GIBRALTAR, AND OF THE ATTACK BY LAND AND SEA SEPT^R 13^{TH} & 14^{TH} 1782 _For Cannons Military Records_] In November, the TWELFTH were relieved from duty at the fortress of Gibraltar, which they had so gallantly defended, and returned to England; they landed at Portsmouth, from whence they proceeded to Hilsea barracks, and in December, they marched to Windsor. [Sidenote: 1784] King George III. was highly gratified at having a corps, which had distinguished itself during the memorable siege of Gibraltar, employed near his person, and on the 1st and 8th of June, 1784, His Majesty reviewed the TWELFTH regiment in Windsor Park, in the presence of the Royal Family, and many distinguished personages, and expressed, in very gracious terms, his high approbation of its appearance and discipline, and of its conduct during the siege of Gibraltar. The regiment remained at Windsor on the King's duty until November, when it proceeded to Chatham. [Sidenote: 1785] [Sidenote: 1786] [Sidenote: 1787] [Sidenote: 1788]
