possibly lost for words on this one……..? All I do know was that the flag in Napoleon's armies was regarded as of much lesser value than the cuckoo. Dipping the flag is a traditional salute, fortunately our Guards are not required to burst into tears on HGP for Trooping of the Colour. |

yes true, some units didn't even want to yield their colours, others were outrage just to throw them into the dirt – of course they were stored in the depot which the Prussians plundered in 1814 or 1815 and a lot of the glorious colours were stored in the Old Zeughaus at Berlin, where they survived the 2nd WW but after that seemingly this unique collection was dispersed. |
