Pictured is The Queen, Colonel-in-Chief of 1st Battalion Welsh Guards.
She is presenting new Colours to the Regiment at Windsor.
This is the eighth set of Colours that have been presented to the 1st Battalion Welsh Guards in their 100 year history.
Colours are the Regimental Flags of the British Army. They were originally used as rallying points on the battlefield as long ago as the Kings of Babylon.
They were vital because before modern communications, it was all too easy for troops to become disorientated by the fog of war.
From the reign of Queen Anne every regiment has been awarded two colours: the Queen’s Colour and the Regimental Colour. In the Guards Regiments the Queen’s Colour is crimson silk and the Regimental Colour is the Union Flag.

Special:
- TR stands for Triumph Roadster and PI for Petrol Injection.
- Wilhelm Karmann GmbH, Osnabrück (Germany) was commissioned to develop a "new" sports car with as many TR5 parts as possible. So only the front and the rear side were different. Mechanically everything remained the same and even the “ancient” chassis of the Standard Flying Nine from 1936, managed to survive this rejuvenation.
- The engine was already used in the ’67 TR5 and Triumph claimed in their sales brochure that it was the "First British production sports car with petrol injection".
- For the US market the engine (104 bhp / 4.500 rpm) was carburetted with twin Stromberg 175 CDSE carburettors because of U.S. emission standards.
- 86,249 units (total production almost 95,000 units) were sold at the American market and only 8,370 units were equipped with the powerful PI engine.
Giovanni Segantini (Arco, 15 January 1858 - Mount Schafberg, 28 September 1899) - Galloping horses (1889-1890) - Charcoal, gold and blood dust on canvas 48 x 69 - Exhibition Divisionism The revolution of light - Novara Castle
Il Divisionismo nasce a Milano, sulla stessa premessa del Neo-Impressionnisme francese, meglio noto come Pointillisme, senza tuttavia che si possa parlare di influenza diretta. Muove dall’idea che lo studio dei trattati d’ottica, che hanno rivoluzionato il concetto di colore, debba determinare la tecnica del pittore moderno. Si sviluppa nel Nord d’Italia, grazie soprattutto al sostegno di Vittore Grubicy de Dragon, mercante d’arte, critico, pubblicista e a sua volta pittore, che con il fratello Alberto gestisce a partire del 1876 una galleria d’arte a Milano. E’ Vittore a diffondere tra i pittori della sua scuderia il principio della sostituzione della miscela chimica dei colori tradizionalmente ottenuta sulla tavolozza, con un approccio diretto all’accostamento dei toni complementari sulla tela. Da dato chimico, il colore diventa fenomeno ottico e alla dovuta distanza l’occhio dello spettatore può ricomporre le pennellate staccate in una sintesi tonale, percependo una maggior luminosità nel dipinto.
Divisionism was born in Milan, on the same premise as the French Neo-Impressionnisme, better known as Pointillisme, without however being able to speak of direct influence. It starts from the idea that the study of optical treatises, which have revolutionized the concept of color, should determine the technique of the modern painter. It develops in Northern Italy, thanks above all to the support of Vittore Grubicy de Dragon, art dealer, critic, publicist and in turn painter, who with his brother Alberto has been managing an art gallery in Milan since 1876. Vittore spreads the principle of replacing the chemical mixture of colors traditionally obtained on the palette among the painters in his stable, with a direct approach to the combination of complementary tones on the canvas. From chemical data, the color becomes an optical phenomenon and at the necessary distance the viewer's eye can recompose the detached brush strokes in a tonal synthesis, perceiving a greater brightness in the painting.
The Rainbow Division memorial is a bronze statue, 3 metres high, and is the work of James Butler, a British artist and member of the Royal Academy in London. It represents an American soldier carrying the body of his dead comrade. It stands on the site of the Croix Rouge farm, where the battle of 25th and 26th July 1918 was fought. It pays tribute to the US 42nd Division, in particular to the 167th Infantry Regiment of Alabama.

She carried a ragged bouquet of ranunculus, and her hand bore a ring fashioned from an old typewriter key.
The new steamer, Calvin Austin, which will run on the International division of the Eastern steamship company, between Boston and St. John, N.B. was launched at noon Saturday at the yards of Harlan & Holllngsworth at Wilmington, Del. Miss Ethel G. Fuller, daughter of Ransom B. Fuller of this city. president of the Eastern Steamship Company, christened the ship.
The Calvin Austin Is one of the largest of her type on the entire seaboard, and her rating Is the highest In marine architecture. The total cost of the steamer was about (illegible) . She is 325 feet long, 62 feet wide over guards, the depth of hull is 21 feet, and registers about 4000 tons. She has easy lines, with a graceful, ellptlcai stern. She Is a screw ship. The hull, constructed of the highest grade of steel, has a double bottom, and is divided by five watertight bulkheads and a collision bulkhead.
The engines are the triple expansion type and will give a speed of 20 miles an hour. The fire room Is floored with bltumastlc cement, and the same material Is used In the kitchen wherever there Is exposure to great heat: so that the ship Is practically fireproof.
Bilge keels have been fitted to prevent rolling, and the great propeller, 16 feet In diameter, will drive the ship without appreciable vibration.
The ship Is electrically lighted, there being two separate plants. On the main deck, aft of the machinery, Is the social hall, finished In mahogany, with Interlocking rubber tile floor. From this deck Is the main stairway leading to the grand saloon. The main saloon, which is 30 feet wide in the centre, runs the entire length of the ship, and Is finished In white and gold.
Above the main saloon, hung by trusses, thus doing away with stanchions, is a spacious gallery. Leading from the two saloons are 260 large and well ventilated two-berth staterooms, which are equipped with mahogany berths. There are 18 parlor suites.
On the awning deck is a fine promenade of about 750 feet. On this deck there are two shelters, one at the bow and. one at the stern, each being 40 feet long and the width of the ship.
