MGM·Lion	Lyr Add: The Ups and Downs (16)	RE: Lyr Add: The Ups and Downs	09 Jul 14
No, you are confused Lighter. My first post was to explain the 'sign of' version' the second as to what the 'alongside' might mean. Both seem to make perfect sense within their own contexts. The Ups & Downs as the nickname of the 69th is confirmed quite widely; in wikipedia, e.g. 69th (South Lincolnshire) Regiment of Foot From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 69th Regiment of Foot Active 1756-1881 (amalgamated 1881) Country Great Britain, United Kingdom Type Infantry Nickname The Ups and Downs The 69th (South Lincolnshire) Regiment of Foot was an infantry regiment of the British Army, formed in 1758 and amalgamated into The Welsh Regiment in 1881. ... The regiment's nickname "The Ups and Downs" may come from its number, which reads the same upside down.
