  facings (present time).

  NICKNAME.--"The Springers" (during American War: also applied to
  the 62nd).

  NOTES.--The 10th were the only regiment of Foot dressed in
  Blue when raised. Amongst other distinctions this regiment has
  been wrecked, has lost its way in the Arabian desert, has been
  attacked by plague, and took part in a gallant dash without the
  loss of a man. In the Mutiny it did much hard work.
