Regimental Badge.—None recognised in Regulations; but in the case of both the late and the present 18th "The Royal Cypher and Crown" appeared and appears on the appointments. Motto, "Pro Rege, pro Lege, pro Patria Conamur"—"We Strive for Sovereign, Laws, and Country."
Notes.—The first 18th is now the 17th Lancers; the present 18th, raised at Leeds in 1858, was allowed to revive the "honours" of the old corps, disbanded in 1821; the motto and the scarlet and white plume were restored in 1878.
