Camp Colours
Under
Royal Warrant of King Charles II, 24 colours were issued to
the Regiment for use as Company Colours: on each was a Royal
badge. In 1854, Queen Victoria's sanction was obtained for
an additional series of 6 badges. Since that time 30 Company
Badges have remained in use in the Regiment and are the basis
of our Colours today.
Company Colours ceased to be re-issued after 1838 except for
those issued in rotation as Regimental Colours to Battalions.
After 1859 these were issued as, and under the title of, Regimental
rather than Company Colours.
The Company Badges are now borne in rotation on the Regimental
Colours of Battalions and on the 30 Company marking flags,
properly known as Camp Flags or Camp Colours.
