most formidable array of titles of any
regiment in the service, their full
name being " The Seaforth Highland-

rived from the original names of the
two battalions—the 72nd, Duke of Al-
bany's Own, and the 780, Highland -
Ross -shire Buffs. The title of "'The
Seaforth" was revived on the amal-

1881, as both were originally raised by

impossible here to give even rt brief
history. The list of honors begins
with "Carnatio" and ends with "Chit-
ral," and the first battalion, which
recently left Crate, Le now in the Sou-
dan, whetre it took ptu't in the recent
battle of Albara. It may, however, be
mentioned, teat at Assaye the 78th
was led by Wellesley—afterwards the
Duke of Wellington—himself, and that
both battalions did great things dur-
ing the Mutiny, many instances of in-
dividual gallantry being recorded.
The 78th received high praise from
General Havelock at Cawnpore, and in
later years the 72nd was frequently
mentioned. for gallantry in Afghanis-
tan; the exploits of the latter in Egypt
and Chitral are too recent to need re-
counting. The late Duke of Albany
was for some years the honorary
colonel of the Seaforths, the present
colonel being Sir Arebibald Alison.
The Mackenzie tartan is now worn,
and the badges are the elephant, and
the late Duke of York's cipher and
coronet.
