<p>The infantry colours of regiments of the British Army are incredibly important - perhaps even the reason why the British army has always been one of the best in the world.</p> <p>But what is their significance, and why, for centuries now, have men gone to extraordinary lengths to defend them, performing amazing feats of courage and bravery?</p> <p>In todays episode I am going to answer all of those questions…share some incredible stories and, at the end, explain why colours still matter to British army regiments.</p> <p>A special thanks to Dr Chris Brice for researching and co-writing this video.</p> <p>If you are interested in the Zulu War, then please sign up for my mailing list to receive my free book on the subject: <a href='https://redcoathistory.com/newsletter/'>https://redcoathistory.com/newsletter/ </a></p> <p>If you are very generous, you can also buy me a coffee and help support the channel via <a href='https://ko-fi.com/redcoathistory'>https://ko-fi.com/redcoathistory</a> </p>
