Commemoration parade of the Battle of Ferozeshah 23rd June 1972
This year the parade took place in Brooke Barracks, Berlin on the 23rd June 1972. It took place in the presence of 140 Old comrades, all of whom had travelled long distances from England to attend.. They included Ex C/Sgt CRUMP of the Royal Berkshires who had joined in 1909, and Lt George WOOLENOUGH the Regiments first Commanding Officer on Formation in 1959.. Many of the old comrades watching the precision and ceremony of this glittering parade must have remembered the times when they themselves had been on parade and waited with tightening throats for that most moving moment when the Colours were handed over. Lt Col CRABTREE, commanding the parade charged the Warrant Officers and Sergeants to
"Safeguard these Colours, and let the fact that our Colours are entrusted to your keeping be not only a reminder of past services but also a visible expression of the confidence and trust which your officers justly place in you"
