Tangier Tangent

[d_Guy]

In discussing the origin of the name "Lambs" for Kirke's Regiment of Foot, John Childes (The later Stuart Army) mentions (although doesn't give much credence as an origin story) that upon their arrival in England in the Spring of 1684 there were wearing their tropical white (or light grey) uniforms and marched through London so arrayed.

Interesting - have not seen this before (but if I do Tangier, they will be wearing red coats!)
