Nationally this year we have marked the centenary of the Battle of the Somme and the sacrifices that are inseparable from it. So too have we celebrated The Queen’s 90th birthday and the extraordinary commitment made by Her Majesty to us as a nation during over 60 years on the throne. Regimentally we have been welcomed back to Bruges to mark the 360th anniversary of the founding of the Regiment, and to Pont-à-Marcq by the people of that village who, year after year, remember a small but vital piece of our Regiment’s history at war. For many, however, 2016 will be remembered as the year that the majority of the British people decided ‘enough is enough’ as far as the European Union was concerned, The resonance of some of our Regimental history at while across the Atlantic the electorate turned to Donald Hougoumont. Trump for a fresh vision of their own. And all of this while Daesh has brought terror to Europe and a wave of Latvia. So it has been an interesting time for the Battalion migration from North Africa not experienced in our to be commanded for the first time in the Regiment’s lifetimes; and while Russia continues to reassert its history by an officer who began his career outside the authority not only in the East but more widely still. Only Household Division, but one who is more than living up to the truly far-sighted could have put money on a hopes and expectations. combination of all of this, and only time will tell what Notwithstanding the Army’s recruiting difficulties history makes of it all. stemming from the out-sourcing of this responsibility to With all of the above as background, the 1st Battalion a civilian company, the Regiment is creeping back up to has re-roled from State Ceremonial and Public Duties in full manning.

You were obviously the Regiment for maintaining their annual inputs.

As I reflect on over a year away from the familiar environment of Wellington Barracks and Regimental Headquarters, I am very conscious that a number of Grenadiers have all chosen to be our Chief of Defence Staff's representative in various exotic parts of the world – Tel Aviv and Vienna come to mind – and it is a job which I would recommend to anybody.

Black US Army bands and their bandmasters in World War I Peter M. Lefferts This essay sketches the story of the bands and bandmasters of the twenty seven new black army regiments which served in the U.S. Army in World War I. They underwent rapid mobilization and demobilization over 1917-1919, and were for the most part unconnected by personnel or traditions to the long-established bands of the four black regular U.S. Army regiments that preceded them and continued to serve after them. Pressed to find sufficient numbers of willing and able black band leaders, the army turned to schools and the entertainment industry for the necessary talent.

The lunch was a great success with Her Majesty seeming to enjoy the rather different experience of being able to order from a menu. Regimental Remembrance Day took place on Sunday 21st May and was attended by The Colonel. The Guards Chapel was full and The Colonel spoke to a large number of people both after the Service and after laying the wreath at the Guards’ Memorial. 1 www.grengds.com Once a Grenadier Always a Grenadier No one can have missed the announcement that, after 65 years of loyal service, The Colonel would retire from carrying out royal engagements. This does not mean that he is stepping down as Colonel! He has said that he is very happy to continue for the moment and already has the November Council meeting firmly in his diary; however, it does mean that he will only carry out very ‘light duties’.

  • HRH Prince Philip by Royal Appointment…
    HRH Prince Philip By Royal Appointment… Steve Slater looks back at the Turbulent flying episode of the late Duke of Edinburgh… rinces Harry and William have rightly hit the headlines in past years with their rotary- wing flying and their father, Prince Charles, was an enthusiastic pilot too. However, so far only one member of the Royal Family has ever flown a single-seat aircraft, and that is the late and much-mourned, HRH Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. PWhile Prince Philip had been RAF-trained (on a DH82A Tiger Moth and a Harvard), the single-seater that he flew wasn’t a fighter type. It was a Druine Turbulent, owned by the Tiger Club and powered by a 1500cc Volkswagen. It was a sign of a passion for flying, which led to the Duke clocking up 5,986 hours in 59 types of aircraft before hanging up his headset in 1997. The invitation to fly the Turbulent came from his equerry, Squadron Leader John Severne (a former Lightning pilot, later to become Captain of the Queen’s Flight, and later still Air Vice-Marshal Sir John Severne). He had used the aircraft, G-APNZ, in the 1959 King’s Cup Air Race, ‘entered’ by Prince Philip in the manner of a racehorse owner and trainer. The aircraft was specially painted white with a green flash with the Duke’s crest painted on the cockpit side. On 24 October of that same year, the Turbulent was flown from the Tiger Club’s base at Redhill to White Waltham, while Prince Philip arrived from Windsor Castle and donned his RAF flying suit.
