INTRODUCTION When, 15 or so years ago, this Institute was founded by a group of former individual members of the Stock Exchange, it established objectives not only to set and assess professional standards, but also to sustain and develop more widely the standards of behaviour epitomised by the Exchange’s motto ‘My Word is My Bond”. To this end, the Institute set a Code of Conduct to help its members meet these standards. Late in 2004, we decided that this Code was in need of revision, to adapt to changing market circumstances. At the same time Lord George had become Master of the Guild of International Bankers and had determined that he would mark his period in office by encouraging the development of a set of Principles of Behaviour to be adopted by the membership. When this work had been completed Lord George, knowing of this Institute’s work in this area, prompted the Guild to discuss its work with us.

    22 The British Empire, 1939–1945 ashley jackson ‘A great Victory Parade was held in Colombo, at which some 3,500 representatives of all the services marched past in 35 minutes’,wrote Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten in his diary for 25 August 1945.As Supreme Allied Commander South East Asia, Mountbatten was proud of the size of his command, headquartered near Kandy in the highlands of Ceylon: ‘At this rate the 1,380,000 meninSEAC[SouthEastAsia Command] would take nearly 9 days and 9 nights to march past!’, he noted with boyish pride. Ken Waterson, a lowlier member of the Royal Navy, was also in Ceylon at the time of the Japanese surrender and described the ‘unreal atmosphere’ that pervaded that memorable evening. When the news of the capitulation came through, he was on the middle watch aboard the destroyer Relentless, at anchor in Trincomalee harbour. The crew ‘got up a singing party and took the ship’s piano onto the quarterdeck’, he recalled. ‘There were rocket (distress flare) displays, jumping jacks and concerts...Ships were dressed, every colour of flag was flown...The dark night showed up illuminated Vs made up of coloured lightbulbs’.Allthe ships in harbour that night sounded their sirens, some spelling ‘VJ’ in Morse code; sailors got drunk and ships started firing rockets at each other and at the aircraft lined up on the deck of an aircraft carrier. Small fires broke out as awnings and gun covers caught fire, and this, in turn, led to hoses being 1 used to dowse fires and the crews of neighbouring warships.
