The honour “Wilhelmstahl” figures as “Willems” in certain other colours.

The colours of the 5th battalion are shown in Fig. 35. =The Royal Warwickshire Regiment.=—Facings, blue. R.C.—The antelope. In each of the four corners, the united Red and White Rose, slipped, ensigned with the imperial crown. Probably, the antelope is used with no more significance than is the case with the paschal lamb of the West Surreys.
