  • Le 56e régiment à pied (West Essex), en anglais 56th (West Essex) Regiment of Foot, est un régiment d'infanterie de l'armée britannique qui fut actif de 1755 à 1881. À l'origine d'un pourpre foncé, la couleur du parement de l'uniforme du régiment fut changé en 1764, année de la mort de madame de Pompadour, en violet, qui passait en Angleterre pour être sa couleur favorite. Le régiment fut alors officiellement surnommé The Pompadours. Les soldats, pour leur part, préféraient affirmer que c'était la couleur des sous-vêtements de la marquise. (fr)
