THE GUARDS Innumerable are the distinctions and privi- leges enjoyed by the Brigade of Guards. Chief among them, however, is the one that under no circumstances are they to be com- manded by any other than their own officers. When in camp, along with other regiments, the Guards must, according to the King's Regulations, be kept separate, as far as possible, from all other units. The Grenadiers enjoy the unique distinc- tion of possessing three, instead of two, Colours the King's, the Regimental..., and the third, the State Colour. Their nick- names are " The Coalheavers " and " The Sandbags. " xA. Nother little peculiarity of the Guards is that the Lance-Corporals wear two chevrons 182 NICKNAMES instead of one, as in all other regiments except the 14th and 19th Hussars. The Irish Guards possess a picturesque privilege in that on St. Patrick's Day every officer and man is presented, on parade, with a spring of shamrock, the gift of Her Majesty Queen Alexandra. THE HIGHLANDERS (THE " JOCKS ") Perhaps it is because of the immense popularity which they enjoy under their ordinary designations that the Highlanders, or " Jocks " as their English comrades affec- tionately term them, have had no very familiar nicknames bestowed on their regi- ments.
