Excerpt from The Adventures of Captain John Patterson: With Notices of the Officers, &C, of the 50th, or Queen"s Own Regiment, From 1807 to 1821
Madam,
Encouraged by the very flattering manner in which your Majesty condescended to present the 50th with the Colours which they now carry, as well as by a high sense of the honour conferred upon the Regiment when they were styled the "Queen"s Own," I have presumed to dedicate to your Majesty this feeble record of their services during the late War.
