"FIRST INTO BATTLE, LAST OUT OF THE FRAY"
The Tenth Foot (or Infantry) is an old and honorable regiment of the Borogravian Army. It has such a length of tradition that it has two nicknames: the Ins-and-Outs, from the motto above, and the Cheesemongers, from a folk song about about a soldier stealing a dairymaid's figurative cheese. This last is unusually risqué for Borogravia, but their shako badge is a flaming cheese.
For much of recent history the Ins-and-Outs have been famous for including Sgt. Jack Jackrum, the toughest NCO in the army. Most recently, it held Jackrum's squad of rookie commandos under Lt. Blouse who changed the war and the country.
