    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 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.

Forehand, Ph.D., Dean of the Graduate College ABSTRACT The British Indian Army, formed from the old presidency armies of the East India Company in 1895, was one of the pillars upon which Britain’s world empire rested. While much has been written on the colonial and global campaigns fought by the Indian Army as a tool of imperial power, comparatively little has been written about the transition of the army from British to Indian control after the end of the Second World War.
