Nickname.—"The Springers" (during American War: also applied to the 62nd).
Notes.—The 10th were the only regiment of Foot dressed in Blue when raised. Amongst other distinctions this regiment has been wrecked, has lost its way in the Arabian desert, has been attacked by plague, and took part in a gallant dash without the loss of a man. In the Mutiny it did much hard work.
