These flags can be attached to flagpoles and raised much higher. These flags can still be viewed at the castle and were recently visited by the Irish President during his state visit to the United Kingdom (the first ever state visit of an Irish president to the UK). The Royal Irish Regiment was presented its first colours in 1996. The 1st Battalion were presented their colours by HRH the Duke of York. They were deliberately not involved in the conflict in Ireland in the early 1920s. (infact no regular unit of the British Army was, the government forces were all in the structure of the Royal Irish Constabulary). If Northern Ireland gets the shamrock, then of course Scotland has to have the thistle. However events in Ireland would effect and eventually catch up on them. I think this lack of flags stands out on parades and other ceremonial events. Tackling Musculoskeletal Problems takes a problem solving approach: it sets out the steps that need to be taken and, importantly, who needs to take them and when. Pennant cardinal house flags are extremely inexpensive to generate, so they are mass-produced to be given out to enthusiasts at sports games.
Your Colours are the records of valorous deeds in war, and of the glorious traditions thereby created. But I fully realise with what grief you relinquish these dearly-prized emblems; and I pledge my word that within these ancient and historic walls your Colours will be treasured, honoured, and protected as hallowed memorials of the glorious deeds of brave and loyal regiments. The badge depicts Bellerophon on Pegasus from Ancient Greek mythology. The regimental flaming Greek pot insignia comes from the cap badge of the old Army Catering Corps. However I decided to use shield of the historic Board of Ordnance which was used in the badge of the old Army Ordnance Corps and is still used in the RLC badge. The shield which seems to have elements of civic arms of NW England, is the unit coat of arms. The second and third quarters bear the royal cypher and the fourth quarter bears a local/regional or unit insignia unique within the corps to the regiment in question. Unlike the other standards the Gurkha cap badge is in the centre and the RLC badge in the fourth quarter. The current regulations on colours and standards only cover infantry and cavalry which means I am pretty free for to make up anything for the RLC.
The reservist standards follow the same pattern to the regular units, although as most reservist regiments are located in and recruit from a specific region, there is a greater emphasis on local/regional symbols as unit insignia. Best of all, there are no setup fees! Flag Pole Suppliers display a range of diameters and gauges usually in aluminium or fibreglass that are most practical materials. Hence, it is advisable to choose materials that can withstand the harsh Australian weather with ease. These days, with custom printed flags, you can put any design on your flags that you want. I put together using the PC for the Hungarians. Google takes internet security very seriously and has announced that it will start using HTTPS as a ranking signal. After the order has been placed and the artwork has been finalized, it takes 7 to 10 days for the production team to manufacture the finished product. I decided the basic RLC standard should be a guidon, because ever since the corps origins in the Royal Waggon Train it has a close relationship and similarities to cavalry.
The standard design is a blue swallow tailed guidon, with the corps badge (which is in itself a fascinating design) in the centre. As this regiment’s role is operating in ports and operating boats, ships and other vessels, I thought it appropriate that like the Royal Navy and Royal Fleet Auxiliary (and even the RAF) it’s standard be based on the ensign flown from Army/RLC vessels. The Royal Irish Regiment of the British Army was formed in 1992, (not to be confused with the Royal Irish Regiment disbanded in 1922) from the amalgamation of the Royal Irish Rangers and the Ulster Defence Regiment. The Royal Irish Rangers was formed by an amalgamation of three historic regiments: the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, Royal Irish Fusiliers and Royal Ulster Rifles (known as the Royal Irish Rifles before 1922) who being a rifle did not carry colours and won’t feature in this post. The inclusion of a red hand, as well as a shamrock is interesting an suggests that Ulster folk were at this early stage, already beginning to see the province as a different entity from the rest of the island.
