  • LOST HOSPITALS of LONDON (Adapted from )
    LOST HOSPITALS OF LONDON (adapted from http://ezitis.myzen.co.uk/ ) Teddington Memorial Hospital Hampton Road, Teddington, Middlesex, TW11 OJL Medical Dates: 1875 – current Medical character: Acute. Later, community The Teddington and Hampton Wick Cottage Hospital opened in 1875 in a house – Elfin Grove Villas – which had been donated for the purpose by Thomas Chappell, of the music publishing and piano manufacturing firm. The Hospital had four beds. Its income, apart from subscriptions and donations, was raised by various activities, such as fetes, bazaars, concerts and plays. In-patients were charged one shilling (5p) a day towards their keep. By 1914, although the number of beds had increased to 24, the population of the area had grown and this bed accommodation had again become inadequate. With no further possibility of expansion on the site, a fund-raising campaign began to raise money for a new hospital on a new location. However, the outbreak of WW1 caused the plans to be postponed. After the war the Hospital Committee began to explore potential sites in 1919; it was intended that the new hospital would also serve as a War Memorial. Fund-raising began in earnest and a piece of land was acquired in Hampton Road for £2,000. The vendors also donated £1,000 towards the building fund. A magazine called Our Town was published in 1924 to raise money for the fund; this was renamed Swan and Stag in 1925 and was published annually until 1934 (the magazines are apparently available in the Twickenham Library, while the swan and the stag became the emblem of the Hospital).

Musical entertainment played by military musicians, whether aimed at the local populace or the rank-and-file soldier, is typically a tool of soft power, designed variously to enforce a sense of authority, discipline and order, to allay suspicion and hostility, or to boost morale and solidarity in situations of tension and conflict. But for our purposes here, we will concentrate specifically on those performances that can be described as formal entertainment - music to accompany dinners and dances, and concert performances of one kind or another. The regimental band became a routine feature of the British army in the late eighteenth century.

    CEREMONIAL FOR THE ARMY This publication supersedes Ceremonial for The Army 2008. Crown Copyright Reserved Prepared under the direction of the Chief of the General Staff MINISTRY OF DEFENCE Army Code No. 64332 Cer Pol & Plans (PS12) Nov 2017 AMENDMENTS Amdt No. Date Signature FOREWORD CEREMONIAL FOR THE ARMY 2017 ‘The finest edge is made with the blunt whetstone.’ (John Lyly: Euphues 1579) “A Ceremonial parade, impeccably performed, can never fail to be a source of inspiration to those who watch it or take part in it. It is the noblest and proudest form of drill. Based on the ‘blunt whetstone’ of drill instruction to recruits it was for many hundreds of years the foundation of battle discipline in all Armies. Vegetius, in AD 378, wrote, ‘troops who march in an irregular and disorderly manner are always in great danger of being defeated’. Today, once the elements of discipline have been instilled through drill on the parade square, it develops, naturally, into various forms of crew drill, gun drill and battle drill, but the aim of discipline remains unchanged. This aim is the conquest of fear. Drill helps to achieve this because when it is carried out men tend to lose their individuality and are unified into a group under obedience to orders. If men are to give of their best in war they must be united. Discipline seeks through drill to instil into all ranks this sense of unity, by requiring them to obey orders as one man. A Ceremonial parade, moreover, provides an occasion for men to express pride in their performance, pride in their Regiment or Corps and pride in the profession of Arms.” (Signed) Alexander of Tunis, F.M.

  • Beating Retreat Ceremony - History of Military Ceremony
    Beating Retreat Ceremony - History of Military Ceremony Beating Retreat Ceremony is a military ceremony which was performed for the first time in India in the 1950's. This article briefly throws light on the origins of this military ceremony, and lucidly explains facts pertaining to the Beating Retreat Ceremony in India, which marks the end of Republic Day festivities. 1. Beating Retreat Ceremony is a military ceremony dating back to 16th-century England. 2. The Beating Retreat Ceremony was originally known as ‘Watch Setting’. 3. This Ceremony was first used to recall nearby patrolling units to their castle. 4. It was initiated at sunset by the firing of a single round from the evening gun. 5. The Beating Retreat Ceremonies usually consist of firing a canon, marching of a band and other decorative presentations. 6. Currently, most of the armed forces in the ‘Commonwealth’ perform some ceremonial form of the retreat. Aspirants can find information on the structure and other important details related to the IAS ​ Exam, in the linked article. ​ Beating Retreat Ceremony in India - Details of the Military Ceremony The Beating Retreat Ceremony was first started in the 1950's when Elizabeth II and Prince Philip visited India for the first time after India attained Independence from the British. The idea was conceived by Major G.A.Roberts, an officer in the Grenadiers Regiment, which is an infantry regiment in the Indian Army. It was conceived by Major G.A.Roberts after he was directed by the First Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru to mark the arrival of Elizabeth II and Prince Phillips with a creative and spectacular event.
