Success?

Over a period of four centuries the 'modern' British Army gradually created a method by which the contribution of individual regiments in a battle or campaign could be formally recognised and rewarded. And yet, despite its longevity, the principles and processes involved in awarding these distinctions is still widely misunderstood and misrepresented; particularly by the regiments themselves. This mini-history sets out to document and explain the British Army's unique method of awarding - Battle Honours.
