These badges are made of solid silver, hallmarked at the Birmingham Assaye office.

THE REGIMENT I HAVE CHOSEN HAD NO COLOURS; IT HAD ONLY A SILVER BADGE WORN BY ALL ITS MEMBERS, BEARING THE NAMES OF ALMOST EVERY FAMOUS VICTORY IN MORE THAN A CENTURY AND A HALF OF BRITISH HISTORY. IN THE HOUR OF CRISIS ITS RIFLEMEN COULD NOT RALLY, LIKE OTHERS, ROUND A COLOUR, FOR THEY FOUGHT IN EXTENDED ORDER, EVERY MAN DEPENDING FOR COURAGE ON THE INVISIBLE COLOURS CARRIED IN HIS HEART
