  • The Colours Part 1: the Regular Battalions
    The Colours Part 1: The Regular Battalions By Lieutenant General J. P. Riley CB DSO PhD MA FRHistS 1. The Earliest Days At the time of the raising of Lord Herbert’s Regiment in March 1689,i it was usual for a regiment of foot to hold ten Colours. This number corre- sponded to the number of companies in the regiment and to the officers who commanded these companies although the initial establishment of Herbert’s Regiment was only eight companies. We have no record of the issue of any Colours to Herbert’s Regiment – and probably the Colo- nel paid for their manufacture himself as he did for much of the dress and equipment of his regiment. What we do know however is that each Colour was the rallying point for the company in battle and the symbol of its esprit. Colours were large – generally six feet square although no regulation on size yet existed – so that they could easily be seen in the smoke of a 17th Century battlefield for we must remember that before the days of smokeless powder, obscuration was a major factor in battle. So too was the ability of a company to keep its cohesion, deliver effec- tive fire and change formation rapidly either to attack, defend, or repel cavalry. A company was made up of anywhere between sixty and 100 men, with three officers and a varying number of sergeants, corporals and drummers depending on the actual strength. About one-third of the men by this time were armed with the pike, two-thirds with the match- lock musket.

British and Commonwealth Armed Forces together with the Malayan Police responded with ever increasing effectiveness, and in a campaign lasting twelve years, progressively defeated the terrorists, and in 1960 the 'Emergency' ended.

  • Part 4: the Territorial and Volunteer Battalions
    Part 4: The Territorial and Volunteer Battalions By Lieutenant General J. P. Riley CB DSO PhD MA FRHistS 1. General Remarks. Before 1881, the various bodies of volunteers that had been raised during the Napoleonic Wars and that had persisted throughout the 19th Century as unpaid associations, were for the first time placed on an organised basis by the War Office. These bodies and their Colours are not recorded here since their affiliation was local, not regimental; details of these regiments and their Colours are in Geddes, Part III, page 212 et seq. Even so, they retained a distinct identity from the militia, for they represented a very different military tradition. Until the Great War, the Volunteers remained an object of suspicion from the regular army and the militia; in the Royal Welch Fusiliers their officers were refused permission to wear the Flash and were derided as “dog-shooters”. With the formation of the Territorial Force in 1908, the 1st (Volunteer) Battalion of the Royal Welch Fusiliers became the 4th (Denbighshire) Battalion (TF); the 2nd (Volunteer Battalion) became the 5th (Flintshire) Battalion (TF); and the 3rd (Volunteer) Battalion became the 6th (Caernarvonshire and Anglesey) Battalion (TF). The 5th (Volunteer) Battalion of the South Wales Borderers was transferred to the Royal Welch Fusiliers and became the 7th (Merioneth and Montgomery) Battalion (TF). As Volunteers, these battalions had carried no Colours, however once the TF had been formed, Colours were authorised once again the separate tradition denied them the battle honours earned by the regular battalions of the Regiment, which had been granted to the militia.

  • Service Battalion Colours
    Part 3: The Service Battalions and War-Raised Units By Lieutenant General J. P. Riley CB DSO PhD MA FRHistS 1. General Remarks. At the end of the Great War, His Majesty King George V instigated the award of a King’s Colour to every Service, Young Soldiers, Graduated and Garrison battalion of the Army that had served overseas; and also to second and third line Territorial Force battalions, TF units serving as infantry and battalions of overseas troops also serving as infantry on active service. The details were promulgated in General Routine Orders and later in Army Council Instructions,i which described these Colours as “silk union flags” although it was stated in the GRO and the ACI that “His Majesty has been further pleased to command that these Flags, which will represent the King’s Colour, are to be consecrated and are to be granted all the salutes and compliments authorised to be paid to Colours.”ii In most cases, the battalions had been disbanded or reduced to cadre by the time of the actual presentation, so that the Colours were sent almost directly to their laying-up. For the Royal Welch Fusiliers, this applied to the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 13th (1st North Wales Pals), 14th (Anglesey and Caernarvon Pals), 15th (1st London Welsh), 16th, 17th (2nd North Wales Pals), 19th (Bantam), 24th (Denbighshire Yeomanry), 25th (Montgomery & Welsh Horse Yeomanry) (Service) battalions; and the 1st, 2nd and 6th Garrison Battalions. In the centre of each Colour was a red roundel edged in gold bearing the regimental title and surmounted by a royal crown.
