Note 45 — HISTORICAL RECORD (continued 2)
Reading edition
The Fifth regiment for many years carried a small green silk banner, inscribed with the badge, motto, number, and designation of the corps, at the head of the regiment, amidst the corps of band and drummers. This distinction is supposed to have originated from the battle of Wilhelmsthal, where the regiment took the colours of the French grenadiers—as stated at page 34.
