On Thursday 22nd March 1900, Lieutenant Colonel E M S Crabbe, commanding 3rd Battalion Grenadier Guards at Bloemfontein, was ordered to join 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel A E Codrington, at Glen Siding, a railway bridge over the Modder River eighteen miles to the north The assembled force, which included some Colonial Mounted Infantry and a party of Engineers, was instructed to repair the railway bridge, which had been sabotaged on 18th March, and to search the countryside for arms and ammunition.

  • The Sovereign's Birthday Parade
    THE SOVEREIGNS’ BIRTHDAY PARADES - SNAPSHOTS OVER TWO CENTURIES By Colin Dean, former Band Secretary, Irish Guards The origins of the parade popularly known as Trooping the Colour are believed to date from around the beginning of the nineteenth century. Guard Mounting took place daily on Horse Guards Parade prior to the King’s (or Queen’s) Guard for the day marching to St. James’s Palace (later Buckingham Palace) to take over the duties. The custom developed of augmenting this parade on the Sovereign’s birthday by including the flank companies from the three regiments of the Brigade of Guards, as well as the Household Cavalry who took part prior to riding under the arch to become the King’s (or Queen’s) Life Guard. King George III 1809: A report in the Morning Post of the 19th January 1809 makes what appears to be the first documented reference to the three Foot Guards bands being together on Horse Guards Parade: ‘Yesterday morning the Duke of Gloucester attended with the Dukes of York and Cambridge, on the Parade in St. James’s Park, to inspect the battalion of Grenadiers*, previous to their mounting guard. At the same time a very novel and grand military spectacle was exhibited, as we believe, never was displayed before; the whole of the numerous Bands of the three regiments of Foot Guards attended, with new state uniforms on. The first and second Bands wore new jockey velvet caps; the three Bands marched as far as the entrance to the Stable-yard; the first and third Bands went on with the King’s Guard, and the second proceeded to the Queen’s Guard, near the Queen’s Palace’.

Dear Sir or Madam, In spite of the many rumours in the Press and on Television; debates in the House of Lords and in the House of Commons, this Association wishes to affirm that whatever is finally decided about the Territorial Army, the Army Volunteer Reserves and Home Defence Units, the need of this Association for Volunteers is still as great as ever it was. The Territorial Army and Army Cadet Force units within this Association’s area still require the young and the not so young, the experienced and not so experienced, to volunteer to serve with them now, and to opt for voluntary service in the Army Volunteer Reserve and Home Defence Units which are to succeed the Territorial Army. Irrespective of what the Government eventually decides, your decision to join one of these units now, could well open up a new way of life for you.
