REGIMENTAL BADGES, MOTTOES, &C.--The Coronet and Cypher of the late Duke of York (who was also Duke of Albany); also, subsequently, the Cypher of the late Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany; also a Stag's Head (the cognisance of the Earls of Seaforth); also an Elephant (without howdah and trappings) with "Assaye" on scroll underneath; also a Thistle bearing the Star of the Order of the Thistle, with circle superimposed, within which is the Cypher (F) of the late Duke of York, surmounted by the Ducal Coronet. _Mottoes._--(1) _Cuidich'n Righ_ (Help, to the King): this, with the Stag's Head, appertains to the Mackenzies, and, according to tradition, was bestowed through the founder of the clan having saved the life of King Alexander II. of Scotland when attacked by a wounded stag. Borne by the Ross-shire Buffs from the first: officially recognised in 1825. (2) _Caber Feidh_ (The Antlers of the Deer), the Seaforth slogan; and (3) _Tulloch ard_ (The High Hill), the old gathering-ground of the Mackenzies on Loch Duich in Ross-shire. NICKNAMES.--(1) "The Regiment of the Macraes" (from the large proportion of men of this name in the 72nd when raised); also (2) "The Wild Macraes" (when in Edinburgh their doings seriously frightened the inhabitants); (3) "The King's Men" (from the ancient motto of the 78th, "Help, to the King"). NOTES, &C.--Both Batts. are successors of the old 78th (Highland) Regiment of Foot--Fraser's Highlanders--which saw much service under General Wolfe; disbanded in 1763. The second 78th was raised in 1778 by Kenneth Mackenzie, Earl of Seaforth, was renumbered as the 72nd in 1786, and is the direct ancestor of the present 1st Seaforth Highlanders. Seven years later the present 2nd Seaforth Highlanders were raised as The 78th (Highland) Regiment of Foot, being also known, shortly afterwards, as the Ross-shire Buffs. The combined battle-roll of honour is much the same as that of the Black Watch and the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. "Assaye" (in 1803) was specially recognised by the Honourable East India Company presenting honorary colours to the late 78th (2nd Batt.). Half a century later, during the Mutiny, it rendered unparalleled service under Havelock, Outram, and Clive, adding "Lucknow" to the Colours, while its achievements in "Central India," "Afghanistan," "Kabul," "Kandahar," "Egypt," and "Tel-el-Kebir" are well within living memory.
