"The Regiment has been awarded or perpetuates fifty-seven battle honours for specific distinguished actions and general actions on active service. Of these, twenty-five battle honour names have been approved for emblazonment on the Regimental Colour of each Battalion."

2. 1915: Bermuda and Belgium
"How then, is it that the Regiment has four battle honours for the First World War that predate the Regiment's arrival in France?"

3. Great War Battle Honours Revisited; 25 or 49?
"Should we not, as a Regiment proud of our history and heritage, take care that each separate battle honour awarded to each perpetuated unit is known and recognized as part of our regimental history?"
