Colonial memories

Soldiers of the Queen: A large group of soldiers, posing around a statue of Queen Victoria, with flags to both sides of the statue. The soldiers and officers are dressed in about 80 different regimental uniforms of the British Empire.

"You may be lost, but you are not forgotten. For those who have travelled far, to fight in foreign lands, know that the soldier's greatest comfort is to have his friends close at hand. In the heat of battle it ceases to be an idea for which we fight. Or a flag. Rather we fight for the man on our left, and we fight for the man on our right. And when armies are scattered and the empires fall away, all that remains is the memory of those precious moments that we spent sided by side." Jack Durrance, The Four Feathers, (2002)
