The Association Camp Colours

Some time ago, I suggested to the Regimental Adjutant that the Old Third Company Camp Colours might be redesignated. The Regimental Adjutant discussed it with the Lt Colonel and, since the 3rd Bn is unlikely ever to be taken out of suspended animation, he decided that we would reallocate the Camp Colours of the Commanding Officer (No 22 – A crescent The President of the Grenadier Guards light or beacon burning) and Adjutant (No Association Company Camp Colour 24 – For Ireland a Stag couchant issuing from a Tower) of the 3rd Battalion, to the President and General Secretary of the Association respectively. Clearly, this is a much more worthy use for them than gathering dust metaphorically and physically, on a shelf in the stores! Thus, these two Colours now reside, rather splendidly in the General Secretary’s office and will, doubtless see the light of day on equally splendid Association “occasions”. They will be on parade on Regimental Remembrance Day and Grenadier Day. The General Secretary of the Grenadier Guards Association Company Camp Colour

The Association trip to Nijmegen

A party of 60, from the Association, based themselves in Eindhoven in preparation for the Celebrations of the 65th Anniversary of the liberation of Nijmegen, during

September 1944.
