Douke said:Granted I would not win a lawsuit with that kind of proof, but it is at least indicative that it is highly present in regiment's lore even at the highest level. I would be surprised ( and shocked ) if it was not true.
And therein lies the real problem we are discussing. In many regiments, including my own, instances of long favoured regimental lore are upheld to the point where some lose the understanding that regimental lore and regimental fact may be different. I certainly see nothing wrong with the unit treating its drums as Colours, but saying they are Colours is a very different thing. Sometimes regimental education and understanding have to be reinvented to promote a healthy understanding of regimental lore and its place in a regiment's history.
