A FOREIGN REGIMENTAL MARCH.

Your issue of December 21st contains the General Informa- tion question, " What Regiment has a foreign tune for its Regimental March and Why ? " and the answer given is the West Yorkshire Regiment, the old Fourteenth, for its conduct at the storming of Famars in 1798. May I add that the Royal Sussex Regiment, the old 85th Foot, has as its Regimen- tal March the March of the Royal Roussillon Regiment of French Grenadiers, whom it charged at the Battle of Quebec in 1759. In recognition of its gallantry on this occasion the Regiment was decorated with the White Plume of the Roussil- lon Grenadiers which still forms part of the Regimental crest and badge.—L.
