CCLORS NOT BORNE IN WAR
3rtttsh Troops Go Into Action With out the Inspiration of the Reg'-
 mental Coiors.

Tue coiors Of tue British army are made of silk. with goldfrtnsed edges and cords and tassels of crimson and gold. mounted on staff eight feet se7en inches long.
 To insure their absolute correctness tn matters of detail and pattern, an official of the Hsralds College aots as Inspector Of colors." He has to furnish drawings aud designs, and is responsible that an unauthorized de- parture is made from them.
 Every infantry battalion has two coIors--"the wings" and the regt- mental" The former is always of tho same pattern, and shows the union Jack on a hue ground. while the lao ter has a wreath Of roses, shamrocka and thlstles. with the regiments motto and crest, surrounded by g. list of ths various battles in which 1t has taken part ''a. '~s ps&i.. ?,
 Reg,mental colors ars no longer car rted into action. but arc nov left be- htnd at headquarters when battalion proceeds on service. This has boon the rule since the Boer war in 1881. 4 cauple of years earlier two young om- cers of the South Wales Borders were killed while endeavoring to prs vent the colors, of which they had charge, f. n falling into the hands os tho enemy at the battle of Isandhl' wanA.
