Guard Marching Past |
| To
most soldiers the Ferozeshah Parade finished the moment you marched off
parade, but for the Sgts and Officers the proceedings were not complete
until the colours were handed back to the Officers with due ceremony at
Midnight. We display a few images from the 1989 Ferozshah Ball in Hong
Kong 1989 |
