"The proudest boasts of the Regiment are that no Regiments
of the Indian Army did more actual front-line work and hard
fighting, that it never lost a yard of trench in any theatre
of War, that on no occasion was it ever withdrawn for reconstruction
though reconstruction was often rendered advisable by casualties,
that no Regiment was more often specially mentioned in orders
and dispatches, and, finally, that on returning to India
after the conclusion of the War it was the only unit of
the Indian Army given the Honour of a Royal Colonel in Chief
in recognition of its services during the War."
