The Ferozeshah Parade 1967

The Ferozeshah Parade Clifton Bks, Minden, 21 December 1967

The Battle of Ferozeshah was commemorated each year by the Battalion in Minden. All those who took part will have a clear memory of the bitter German Winters, and not without a passing thought that December 21st was not a clever time to hold a battle or a parade. Nevertheless tradition is tradition !
