van Gemeren said:Does the Navy and Airforce have "battle honours" or "colours" in the same context as the army?
P.s what is a good source for Canadian military traditions and practices? (So I don't have to ask all of these questions)

Have checked - effectifely, CGG & GGFG both carry the same battle honours on both Regimental & Royal colours.HighlandIslander said:Something of an aside from the current discussion, but still fits under the general topic of battle honours and colours...

Off the top of my head, I would suggest it is just another one of these "guard things".
