Tradition.

"Nine times out of ten a unit that looks good is good." - Slim of the Arakan.

The last refuge of the traditional Englishman? The Indian army?

Within context of this previous blog entry, see the Hell March of various Indian Army units. Impressive style that cannot be denied, the old Raj and all that. Magnificent spectacle of which the English could be duly proud.

The British indeed masters in training the sepoy and British Indian Army troops drill & ceremonies, pageantry, etc. The current British military need to now learn from the new masters that were once students. A proud tradition among the jawan continues.
