Note 8 — HISTORICAL RECORD

When the Marquis of Normanby (then Earl of Mulgrave) presented the regiment with New Colours at Jamaica, he remarked, in reference to the conduct of the regiment,—"I had myself the means of knowing upon the many times I have been at Falmouth, whilst your head-quarters were there, that the regiment was universally popular, and their departure generally regretted. During the few pleasant days I passed at Shuttlewood, in the camp of which the flank companies of the TWENTY-SECOND regiment formed a part, I remember upon remarking to the Major-General there commanding, the perfect good conduct of all there, he said, 'Yes, I never knew better men.'"
