The Colours of The Second or Queen's Royal Regiment

The 24th London Regiment (The Queen's);
later 7th (Southwark) Battalion

The 24^th London Regiment, formerly 4^th Volunteer Battalion The Queen’s, received its Colours on the same occasion as the 22^nd London and like them owned only one stand of Colours. The design of the 24^th London Colours was identical to that of the 22^nd except for the numerals, and the Great War battle honours:

AUBERS		FLERS-COURCELETTE
FESTUBERT 1915		MESSINES 1917
CAMBRAI 1917		EPEHY
BAPAUME 1918		GAZA
JERUSALEM		JORDAN

 

Like the 22^nd, the 24^th did not add any of The Queen’s battle honours.
