This from an Edwardian slang dictionary:

Blue Caps (Indian Mutiny, 1857). Dublin Fusiliers. The Dublin Fusiliers are 'The Blue Caps'. A despatch of Nana Sahib was intercepted, in which he referred to ' those blue-capped English soldiers who fight like devils '. The name stuck. At the Siege of Lucknow the bridge of Char Bagh was raked by four guns and defended on the flanks by four others. 'Who is to carry it?' asked Outram. ' My Blue Caps ', replied Havelock ; and they did. Rev. E. J. Hardy. [From ‘Passing English’]
