The Ferozeshah Parade
which had been inherited from the Wiltshire Regiment was commemorated in
some form or other throughout the life of the 1st Battalion Duke of Edinburgh's
Royal Regiment. Their time in Catterick with the 24th Air Mobile Brigade
was no exception with two excellent parades taking place in 1991 and 1993.
The parade in 1993 was the last parade for the D.E.R.R. although the RGBW
have carried it over when operations allow.
