Motto: _Cede nullis_ (Yield to none). _Uniform_, Scarlet. _Facings_, Blue. _Head-dress_, Helmet. _Cap_, Dark green. _Regimental March_, "Jockey to the Fair." Allied Regiment, 105th Regiment (Saskatoon Fusiliers) of Canada. THE KING'S OWN (Yorkshire Light Infantry) The 1st Battalion (51st Foot) was raised in 1756 and was "Yorkshire" from its birth, being intimately connected with the West Riding. It performed gallant service in all parts of the world, reaping with the 2nd Battalion (105th Foot), raised in 1839, a rich harvest of "honours," all of which, however, do not figure on the colours. Sir John Moore served as an ensign and a field officer in the regiment, and it came under his command in the famous retreat to Corunna, during which the Light Division rendered signal service in the rear guard. The 2nd Battalion was originally a regiment in the pay of the East India Company, and came to England for the first time in 1874. Nickname: The "Kolis," that word being formed of the initial letters of the words which composed their regimental title--King's Own Light Infantry. [Illustration] (_Depot_, Shrewsbury.)

THE KING'S (Shropshire Light Infantry) Raised in 1755. This regiment is the only one to bear the honour "Nieuport," on its colours, winning this in 1793 by gallantly defending that town against a surprise attack by the enemy. At Tournay the regiment, with the 14th and 37th, by a forced march reached the battlefield at a most opportune moment and decided the day in favour of the British. The regiment was in St. Helena during the time Napoleon was held captive there, and that great soldier spoke frequently in tones of high praise of its conduct. It has maintained that good name throughout its subsequent career. Nicknames: The 1st Battalion (53rd Foot)--"The Brickdusts," from their facings, which were red at one time; also "Old Five and Threepennies," from its number. The 2nd Battalion (85th Foot)--"Elegant Extracts," it being reformed with officers picked from other regiments. [Illustration] (_Depot_, Mill Hill.) (_Record Office_, Hounslow.)
