1 coat. 1 white cloth waistcoat. 1 white cloth breeches. 1 _frilled_ shirt. 1 black leather stock. 1 pair of worsted stockings. 1 gold laced hat. Black cloth with 3 dozen buttons for a pair of gaiters. 5_s._ 3_d._ in lieu of a pair of shoes. The same articles were supplied to the other ranks, with the exception that while the corporal’s coat had two epaulettes, the bombardier’s had only one; and that the hats of the drummers were plain, instead of gold-laced. The drummers had also fur caps supplied to them when required. In the West Indies the men received white linen waistcoats and breeches, instead of cloth; and wore white gold-laced hats instead of black. The men of the Invalid Battalion received the same articles as those of the Marching Battalions, with this exception, that their coats were lined with _red_ instead of white, and their waistcoats and breeches, instead of being white, were _blue_. So much for the clothing of the Regiment at this time; a few words must now be said as to its drills. And perhaps this can be done most easily by describing a field-day, which took place on the morning of the 9th July, 1788, before the King. On the arrival of His Majesty, a salute of 21 guns, at intervals of 8 seconds, was fired by a company, which immediately afterwards fell in on the left of the line. It was not until the preceding year that the Regiment had [Sidenote: Order by Master-General, 4 July, 1787.] been ordered to fall in in two ranks, when under arms. The King having ridden down the ranks, the Regiment broke into open column, and marched past in slow and quick time. The line having been reformed, and the Manual Exercise practised, the following marvellous evolutions commenced:--Two rounds were fired from _flanks to centre_ of each Battalion; the line then retired one hundred yards towards the Barracks, and fired two rounds from _centre to flanks_ of each Battalion; and then returned to its former ground. Here it fired two rounds by grand divisions from flanks to centre of each Battalion; then one round by wings of each Battalion; and, finally, each Battalion fired a volley.
