Between Waterloo and the Crimea

In the years between Waterloo and the Crimea, the activities of the Regiment were leisurely and gentle, typical of the general military decay of the period. They spent time in Corfu, Malta and Ireland and whilst in Gibraltar in 1842, they were employed to build a road: 'Pace bonus et utilis' (In peace, law-abiding and useful), is how the Regiment is described on a tablet commemorating this work.
