Regimental Battle Honours |
|
The sheer scale of the Great War led to a previously unheard of number of
honours being awarded and it was simply impractical to emblazon every one of
them on the Regimental Colour. In September 1922 it was ordered that
Regiments should select up to 10 Honours to be emblazoned on their Regimental
Colours along with previous awards, up to a total of 24. This led to
a storm of protest, since many Regiments would have had to remove previous
Honours. The order was therefore amended the following
December, to allow each Infantry Regiment to select up to 10 Honours to be
emblazoned on its King's/Queen's Colour, Honours from other conflicts continuing to be
displayed on the Regimental Colour.
