'Trooping the Colours' of the 2nd Battalion, The Worcestershire Regiment, at Kilmainham in Dublin, 1922

Photograph, Ireland, 1922.

The spirit of a regiment was embodied in its Colours: trooping or marching the Colours through the regiment reinforced the loyalty of its soldiers, both to the regiment itself and through it to the sovereign whom they served.
