It bears “The Sphinx” for Egypt, 1801; and was granted the distinction of wearing the number on the back and front of the Cap for its gallant conduct at the Battle of Alexandria, 1801. It captured a flag of the 25th French Infantry at Waterloo, 1815. It was nicknamed “The Old Braggs” from its Colonel’s name from 1734 to 1751; and “The Slashers” from its conduct at the passage of the river Brunx 1776, and also, it is said, from some of the officers dressing themselves as Indians, during the American War, and cutting off the ears of a magistrate who had refused quarters to the women of the Regiment during a severe winter.
