Talk:99th (Lanarkshire) Regiment of Foot

Dressed to the Nines Trivia
I heard some where that the phrase 'Dressed to the Nines' was in relation to this regiment being as they where reliably well dressed. Can anyone confirm/repute? --TinTin (talk) 02:32, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

"Dubious" reference -- 99th Regiment of Foot
I have added a "Dubious" tag to the first paragraph under the heading "The Victorian era" because I have sighted contradictory evidence and the reference is to a self-published source.

"The 99th rotated through various colonial posts during much of 1842 until being ordered to Sydney" is contentious.

The contrary evidence, indicating the presence of the regiment at Port Arthur in 1852, is in Our Antipodes (1855) by Lt Colonel Godfrey Mundy, available at https://archive.org/details/ourantipodesorr03mundgoog/page/436/mode/2up. It includes an account of his visit to Port Arthur penal settlement. On page 510 he states: "... the garrison consists of a captain and seventy grenadiers of the 99th." – SCHolar44 🇦🇺 💬 at 06:20, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
