"Strawboots" is the extraordinary nickname the 7th (Queen's Own) Hussars bear. It is said the name originated when the regiment was at Warburg in 1760. The boots of the troopers being worn out, straw bands wore substituted for them, and the army-quick to pick up and notice these little things-christen- -ed the regiment by that name, which it till

bears to-day.

Whilst the 11th (Prince Albert's Own) Hug sara where fighting in the Peninsula, sorozi the men on outpost daly climbed up some cherry trees, regalling themselves on the fruit. In this ‘ignominious position they were dis covered by the enemy and taken prisoners. The regimental nickname to-day is "The Cherry Pickers,"

Interest attaches to the 14th (King's) Hus- surs (known as "The Ramnuggar Boys,” through losing their brigadier-colonel, and 40 officers and men in 1848, at Kamooggar), from the fact that this was the corps of Charles O'Malley's choice, and mustered in its ranks the ever-memorable Mickey Free,

Who has not heard of "The Fighting Fif teenth, the rith (King's) Hussars? How well they deserve the nickname they bear is shown❘ in the regimental records, and the fact that the regiment bears on its helmets the following in. scription: "Five battalions of French defeat- [579 ed and taken by this regiment, with their colours, and nine pieces of caunou, at Ems.
