Oldest Regiment In the World The oldest regiment in the worn-â€" the famous Royai Scots \or “Pontius Pilate’s Bodyguard”â€"-has just return- ed to garrison duty in Edinburgh its hometown, after years of service in the far parts of the British empire. This distinguished fighting force is able to (trace direCt descent from urous Scots infantry -who proceeded in 1590 to France to assist Henry VI in his wars with the Leaguers.

From the fact that the above mentioned com- panies had been raised and omoered by the omcers of the Gens d’Armes Ecossaisses and the Garde de Corps Ecossaisses the regiment can claim a. connection with those two celebrated corps with whom the Scottish arch- ers of the Guard, of whdm we read in “Quentin Durward" and so back av-.â€" m “Quentin Durward" and so back to the earliest body of Scottish sol- diers to whom their is any record. “The four and twenty armed Sco'tts “The four and twenty armed Scotts in whose fidelity and valor Charles 111, King of France in 882, so can- ish service, which composed of Hep- burn’s, MacKay’s, Lumsden's and Stargate’s regiments, has served un- der the Lion of the North, Gustavus Adolphus. ___V,- We read in the record of the service of MacKay’s regiment “Munro’s Ex- pedition,” written by Hepburn’s com- rade and friend, Colonel Robert Mun- ro, that on the meeting of these two bodies of Scotch soldiers “all greeted their old commander with acclama- tions of joy by beating the Scottish march as he approached and the last solitary piper oi MacKay’s Highâ€" landers blew loudly and longly a. note of welconre on the great war- pipe of the north." Munro was appointed second in command under Hepburn in the new regiment, which consisted of 154 of- ficers and 8,162 men. Its claims to antiquity were fully recognized by the King of France, who gave it precedence over 9.11 others in the service of France. In connection with this claim the well known sobriquet of Pontius Pilâ€" ate’s Bodyguard was acquired by the regiment. The French regiments, es- pecially that of Picarhy, were jeal- ous of this precedence, and on one occasion while the point Was in dis- pute between the oficers of the two regiments a Picardy oflicer remarked: “I suppose you will next claim you have been on duty at the crucifixion" “No,sir,” replied an ofiicer of .

A letter is extant from Cardinal Richelieu, expressing his great Acon- eern for the death of Colonel Hep- bni-n. The burial took place in the magnificent ol‘d cathedral at Toul. in French Lourraine, Many years 31- terwards a. noble monument was er- ected above the grave by Louis XIV, bearing an epitath to the worth of one “who so deservedly was deemed the best. soldier in Christendom and consequently in the worl .” During the ‘English civil war the regiment was kept as far as DOSSible from England lest Charles I _ should campaign of 1635 with the French army in Germany, and on its retreat was placed in the position of danger as rear guard, admirably aoquitting itself by turning and inflicting a. hea- vy defeat on the Imperialists near regiment served during giment in the World“ r111 Scots or “Pontius ard"--h88 just return- duty m Edinbm‘g'h its r vears of service 111 was called Le French flww 7- 0 under Turrene against the rebel Con- ! 3“th PfOteCt'on , ..: 5.1.! n... ha” in barricade fight.
