Second Division

The Second Division is a formation of the British Army. In Show the Colours it consists of the 2nd Foot Guards, the 15th Hussars and a company of the 60th Rifles.

2nd Foot Guards
Also known as the Coldstream Guards, their motto is Nulli Secundus (Second to None). They are actually senior to the 1st Foot Guards, and take position on the extreme right of the line when on parade. They are known for their smartness, both in their appearance and in their drill.

33rd Regiment of Foot
The 33rd are the Havercake Lads. This is a regiment from Yorkshire, although in its ranks may be found men from all over England - not just England. They have more than a few Irish and Scots among their ranks.

15th Light Dragoons (Hussars)
Raised as the 15th Light Dragoons, they were renamed Hussars in 1807, although some still refer to them by the old name. Their motto is Merebimur (We Shall Be Worthy) and they do their best to ensure this is true, with the spirit and dash that characterises the Light Horse regiments.

60th Rifles
Raised in 1797 by combining two German regiments, the 5/60th are three years older than the 95th. They have a very high ratio of Germans and German-speaking soldiers, although they do have a handful of British men. Their motto is Celer et Audax (Swift and Bold) and they do their best to live up to it, taking only the most intelligent and quick-witted men.

The Baggage Train
Following the Division on the march, the baggage train is made up of camp followers, sutlers, officers' pack-horses and mules, ammunition waggons and waggons carrying other military materiel, and livestock. It is a noisy, bustling, disorganised part of the column.
