| The centre of the badge is gilt on blue enamel, a maid of Erin harp on the Roman numeral XVIII. The motto is surrounded with a delicate wreath of shamrocks and the Sphinx of EGYPT rests on top. This is all on a silver hobnail star which in turn is mounted on a smooth universal gilt star that has the Georgian crown at the top. It was fixed to the front of the bell-topped shako that was worn in the infantry between 1829 and 1844. |
