Apropos of a recent, serious quarrel between some men of the 53rd Regi- ment, and others of the Marines, a con- temporary says:-These regimental quarrels are often very difficult to heal. They are sometimes handed down in corps like a Corsican feud in families. Ono well-known case was the long- standing dissension between the Cold.. stream Guards and the 87th, now known as the Royal Irish Fusiliers. It grew, I think, out of a regimental song, per. petuated in the latter regiment, begin- ning with the words, "The Coldstream Guards, they wouldn't charge," and re- ferring to some probably apocryphal incident at the battle of Barrossa. But for years, when the Coldstream Guards
