It bears “The Crest of the late Duke of Wellington” with the motto “Virtutis fortuna comes”; and received its Title in 1853 with this badge in memory of its being the first Regiment commanded by Field-Marshal the Duke of Wellington. Its facings are described as being “lined with white” on its formation.
