EDITORS COMMENTS
March Off the Old Colours" is a captivating photolithograph print that commemorates a significant moment in the history of the 6th Battalion of the Light Infantry. The image, taken from the series "Presentation of New Colours to 6th Bn Light Infantry (V) by HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother at Bath 26th October 1979," was published by the battalion itself in 1979. The photograph captures the essence of tradition and ceremony as the soldiers of the 6th Battalion, clad in their distinctive uniforms, march off the old colours. The old colours, which have been the symbol of the battalion's history and valor, are being retired to make way for new ones. The Queen Mother, wearing her regal attire, looks on with a proud and approving expression as the soldiers pass by. The intricate details of the print, from the creases on the soldiers' uniforms to the folds of the Queen Mother's gown, bring the scene to life. The muted colors and sharp lines add to the sense of solemnity and importance of the occasion. This print is a testament to the rich history and traditions of the 6th Battalion of the Light Infantry, and the dedication of its soldiers. It is a reminder of the sacrifices and achievements of those who have served, and the importance of passing on the legacy to future generations. The image is a valuable historical record, and a source of pride for the members of the battalion and the wider military community. The photolithograph print, produced by John King in 1979, is a beautiful and poignant representation of a moment in military history that will not be forgotten.
