Regimental Colours: What are they and why do they mean so much?
Description
The infantry colours of regiments of the British Army are incredibly important - perhaps even the reason why the British army has always been one of the best in the world.
But what is their significance, and why, for centuries now, have men gone to extraordinary lengths to defend them, performing amazing feats of courage and bravery?
In todays episode I am going to answer all of those questions…share some incredible stories and, at the end, explain why colours still matter to British army regiments.
A special thanks to Dr Chris Brice for researching and co-writing this video.
