  • Ceremonial for the Army
    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.

  • 1 a Holy Relic of War: the Soviet Victory Banner As Artefact Jeremy Hicks Since 1965, the Centrepiece of 9 May Victory Day Celeb
    1 A Holy Relic of War: The Soviet Victory Banner as Artefact Jeremy Hicks Since 1965, the centrepiece of 9 May Victory Day celebrations in Moscow has been a parade on Red Square in which the Victory Banner raised over the Reichstag on 30 April 1945 is ceremonially displayed by a guard of honour before the watching public. The banner is a red Soviet flag bearing the hammer and sickle emblem, with the name of the unit that raised it added in white1. Newsreel and still photographic images of the raising of the Victory Banner over the Reichstag became a central symbol in the 1960s birth of what has been called a Soviet war ‘cult’ (Tumarkin 1994, 137). More recently, the actual banner and - since its official adoption as an official state symbol in 2007 - replicas of it have played an increasingly important role in articulating and disseminating the Soviet and post-Soviet Russian view of victory in the Second World War, the Soviet dimension of which has long been referred to as the Great Patriotic War. This chapter is an attempt to understand how this flag came to acquire such symbolic resonance, and to trace how its place within the practices of Second World War commemoration that have evolved since May 1945. The introductory section adumbrates a theoretical approach premised on the notion that national understanding of the past is constructed in part through the selection and mediation of symbols. I then trace the fate of the Victory Banner from its initial journey to Moscow in May 1945, examining its installation in, what is now known as the Central Museum of the Armed Forces and the ways in which the changing approaches to displaying it in the 2 years since have variously constructed this symbol’s meaning amidst changing societal attitudes to the war.
