May their now spotless folds never be stained but by summer showers, nor faded but by sunshine, and may they long float like the rainbow - a guarantee ot peace in the land. But, should an enemy venture on our shores, and should you be called upon to fight for your hearths and your homes, I am sure, from the spirit you have shown, that, led by your gallant Colonel, you will follow your Colours with loyal enthusiasm, and bring them back with honour'.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from the year 1854, depicts the Presentation of New Colours to the South Lincoln Militia in the historic town of Grantham. The image captures a poignant moment in time as Lady Marian Alford, elegantly dressed in Victorian attire, presents the newly consecrated colours to Lieutenants Banks and Adams of the regiment. The ceremony took place in the presence of the Reverend, who led the congregation in prayer for the consecration of the regimental colours. Following the prayer, Lady Marian Alford addressed the gathered militiamen with a heartfelt speech. She expressed her hope that the new colours would remain unstained by battle and unfaded by the sun, symbolizing peace in the land. She also expressed her confidence in their loyalty and bravery, should they be called upon to defend their hearths and homes. The South Lincoln Militia, a vital part of the British military during this era, took great pride in their regimental colours, which represented their history, traditions, and unity. The presentation of new colours was a significant event, marking the continuity and renewal of their military legacy. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of military traditions and the spirit of patriotism that defined the Victorian era.
