FEROZESHAH PARADE 1961 |
| The Ferozeshah Parade was held on the
15th December 1961, and in spite of the very cold weather, the sun shone
and the Regiment were delighted to welcome the many friends who attended.
The salute was taken by the Colonel of the Regiment and the parade was
generally accepted as having been a great success. In the evening the Sergeants
Mess gave the traditional Ferozeshah ball and at Midnight the Ceremony of
handing the colours back to the Officers took place. |
