The First Battalion, a distinguished and celebrated unit within the Army, has been at the forefront of numerous significant events throughout history. From Exercise Noble Jump 2017 to commemorating the birthday of their Queen, this battalion has always stood tall with unwavering dedication. One remarkable moment etched in history is the presentation of New Colours to the First Battalion of the Norfolk Regiment at Aldershot by none other than the Prince of Wales himself. The engraving capturing this grand occasion showcases the pride and honor bestowed upon this esteemed battalion. Another captivating scene depicted in an engraving is Her Majesty decorating the Recovered Colours of the First Battalion at Osborne House after their valiant efforts during The Twenty-Fourth Regiment's battle at Isandlana. This act symbolizes not only recognition but also gratitude for their bravery on that fateful day. The Presentation of Colours to the 10th Regiment (First Battalion) at Dublin further exemplifies how this battalion holds a special place in military traditions. As seen in another exquisite engraving, it portrays a momentous event where respect and admiration are palpable. Even beyond British shores, this illustrious unit has left its mark. A silver centrepiece was crafted for their Officers Mess in honor of their service as part of Welsh Regiment's First Battalion. Such attention to detail signifies appreciation for their commitment and camaraderie. In times when duty calls abroad, like during The War in Egypt, we witness through an engraved image depicting Departure of the First Battalion Scots Guards that they answer without hesitation or reservation. Their departure represents sacrifice and determination as they embark on yet another mission far from home soil. Not limited to historical moments alone, even more recent events have showcased their significance within contemporary contexts such as participating alongside Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting or Duke Cambridge taking salute during his first Colonelis Review – both instances highlighting trust placed upon them by high-ranking officials.
