		Battle honours are usually presented in the form of a name of a country, a region or a city where the regiment's distinguished act took place together with the year when it occurred.
		As a result, the battalion was awarded two battle honours for the same war: "Tumbledown Mountain" and "Falkland Islands 1982." Furthermore, a regiment need not have defeated the adversary in order to win a battle honour.
		Although the granting of battle honours had already been in place at the time, it was not until 1784 that infantry units were authorized to bear battle honours on their colours.
