  • Royal Anglian Regiment
    COUNCIL – 4TH SEPTEMBER 2006 Report of the Chief Executive 5.1 FREEDOM OF ENTRY – ROYAL ANGLIAN REGIMENT Purpose of Report To recognise the service and achievements by the Royal Anglian Regiment and its close links with the Borough of Charnwood by granting them Freedom of entry to the Borough of Charnwood. Recommendation That Freedom of Entry to the Borough of Charnwood be granted upon the Royal Anglian Regiment. Background to Freedom of Entry The practice of granting the 'Freedom of Entry' upon military units has its roots deep in the history of local government; it is an interesting example of the power and influence of old boroughs in the past. During the Middle Ages, formed bodies of troops were not allowed to march through a borough without seeking the permission of the Council. As most boroughs were surrounded by a fortified wall the city fathers were in a position to refuse access if, for some reason, they were suspicious of the Military Commander's intentions. The Freedom of entry would normally be granted to locally based troops once mutual confidence and friendship had been established and when the citizens were satisfied that the troops would protect their interests. Permission to enter confers upon individual Regiments the right "to march through the city with due ceremonial, drums beating, bands playing and banner flying', in recognition of the confidence, trust and friendship existing between the citizens and soldiers. Such permission is accompanied by a sealed and illuminated certificate, which is presented at a formal parade where the Mayor inspects the assembled troops and then invites all involved to a reception.

  • 1St EAST ANGLIAN REGIMENT (Royal Norfolk & Suffolk)
    Brigadier R. H. Maxwell, C.B.. Colonel, 1 st East Anglian Regiment (Royal Norfolk and Suffolk). 14 Message from the Colonel of the Regiment During our discussion prior to amalgamation it was decided that our respective Regimental Journals — The Britannia and The Suffolk Regimental Gazette — should cease publication, and that a new Journal should be started which would record not only the activities of the Regular and Territorial Battalions, but also the news and doings of Past Members of each former Regiment. The merging of the two publications is another step in the process of amalgamation, which has been carried out so happily and successfully. In wishing The Britannia and Castle every success, I would stress that this can only be achieved by the active support of all, both by buying the Journal and contributing to its pages. A good Journal is a great Regimental asset, in that it serves to keep all Past and Present Members of The Regiment in touch, not only with the Regiment itself, but with each other. I sincerely hope that it will achieve a very wide circulation. R. H. MAXWELL, Brigadier, Colonel, The First East Anglian Regiment. 16 H.R.H. The Princess Margaret, Colonel-in-Chief.
