Two Battalion's that have been Linked together?
When two battalions or regiments amalgamate they are presented with new colours by the honorary colonel and the battle honours are amalgamated too with a maximum of 44 (I think) allowed to be emblazoned on the colours. Should they be re-instituted as separate entities at a later time the battle honours would be restored to each unit and new colours presented. In that case any shared battle honours would be displayed on both colours.





In the case of associations: the official OCA will display the insignia and banner of the new formation as will individual association branches but the branches may also display insignia for the amalgamated units. OCA members will wear the tie for the unit they served in unless they are employed by the association in which case they wear the tie for the new unit.
Reply:Banner of both battalions can be displayed simutaneously by the combined unit.
