Battle Honours..

Mr. C. B. Norman, in his recent book, has pointed out many nomalies in the official system nder which battle honours are commemorated on the colours and appointments of the regiments of the Army. But one of the greatest absurdities is that which gives to rogimente, in defiance of all Principles of heredity, the pri vilego of bearing honous which word earned by other regiments with which they have no carthly connection; simply on account of: the uccident of their beating a similar number or titlo. The most flagrant casos uro those of the 5th Lancers, the 18th, 19th and 20th Hussars, and the Loins ter Regiment. Whether the fault lios with Sir Archibald, Alison's Cominittee, of 1881, or these questions on the War to the Department which controls,

Offico, it is difficult to say: but the principle adopted has had the effect of bringing the whole subject into ridicule. Major-General Spencer Ewart'a MANILA LINE-Twin Seren Stanmors"
