"Semper Fidelis"

Motto of the 11th of Fort (Devons) sometimes reffered to as the "Bloody Eleventh" because of a certain battle in the Penninsula Campaign as well as their general willingness to get stuck in and turn their coats red for a whole different reason.

The Motto comes from the City of Exeter and appeared on Shakko plates as early as 1860. It means "Ever Faithful" it is Latin.

"Primus in Indus"

Motto of the 39th (Dorsets) The motto refers the the Dorsets' honour to be the first regular regiment in mainland India. It means litterally "Frist in India" Latin.

"Marabout"

A unique battle Battle honour awarded to the 54th (Originally raised in Ireland as the 56th) for being instrumental in the capture of that fort during the Egyptian campaign

In a year or so the regiment is to be re-numbered as a Battalion of the Light Infantry. So all this will be forgotten.
