CONCLUSION.

The details contained in the foregoing pages show, that the reputation acquired by the Twentieth Regiment in the wars during the reigns of King William III. and of Queen Anne,—in the defence of Gibraltar in 1727,—and at the battles of Dettingen and Fontenoy, has been preserved unsullied by the SECOND BATTALION of that corps since the year 1758,—at which period it was constituted the SIXTY-SEVENTH regiment.

In the rocky and almost impregnable position of Belle-Isle may be traced an analogy between its capture, and that of Quebec, although in the acquisition of the former the Nation had not to regret the loss of such a Commander as Major-General James Wolfe, the first Colonel of the SIXTY-SEVENTH regiment, whose death cast a gloom over the triumphs of the British Arms in the conquest of Canada.

The Royal Tiger, and the word "India" superscribed, borne on the regimental colour, record the services of the FIRST BATTALION in the East during a period of twenty-one years from 1805 to 1826; while the inscriptions of "Barrosa" and "Peninsula" denote the share taken by the SECOND BATTALION in support of Spanish Independence from 1810 to 1814.

Services like these, combined with arduous duties in the Colonies of Great Britain, have acquired for the regiment the confidence of the Nation and the approbation of the Sovereign, while its orderly conduct in quarters has obtained the commendation of the Military Authorities under whom it has been employed.
