Regimental Days and Celebrations

The long and glorious histories of all our predecessor regiments are full of remarkable feats of arms and outstanding examples of courage, endurance and devotion. The occasions of some of these have traditionally been celebrated as Regimental Days, and such Days and the customs associated with them remain both an inspiration and an important part of the fabric of Regimental life.
