The
Colours 1847-1947 (The central Colour was unique to the
1st Battalion and has been held, following subsequent amalgamations,
by the 1st Battalions of The Queen’s Royal Surrey
Regiment, The Queen’s Regiment and The Princess of
Wales’s Royal Regiment. It is known as The “Third”
or “Colonel’s” Colour. When the Third
Colour was officially retained in 1825, it was not to be
taken on parade. This order was ignored twice; once in 1927
on the King’s Birthday Parade in Hong Kong and, secondly,
in 1992 on disbandment of The 1st Battalion The Queen’s
Regiment in Minden, Germany. The Third Colour is green,
the colour of the House of Braganza, and displays the cypher
of Queen Catherine). |
