Presentation of New Colours to the 28th Foot, at Portsmouth, [Hampshire],1850. '...the presentation of the new colours to the 28th, by Lady Augusta Fitzclarence, took place, after consecration by the Chaplain-General of the Forces, the Rev. Mr. Gleig. The ceremony was commenced by piling the regimental drums, and throwing the new colours over the old. The torn and tattered were carried, at the word of command, into the rear, by Ensigns Hackett and Alpin, to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne"; the whole regiment presenting arms while the new colours were borne forward by Majors Adams and Wheeler, and waved in the face of the whole regiment, inscribed with the various battles in which the old ones had been borne - Egypt, Corunna, Barossa, Albuera, Vittoria, Pyrenees, Nivelle, Nive, Orthes, Peninsula, Waterloo'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
