Hmmm? Engineers don't have colours or guidons, their honours are on the badge. Like the artillery (where it means 'anywhere'), Ubique means the engineers are everywhere. So is 39CER getting a new camp flag?

Hello, for those interested in participating in the Engineers parade where the new Corps flag will be paraded, yes I originally assumed it was new colours but that would not be correct as pointed out by Terry.

Saturday May 7th, there is a full rehearsal @9:00am. Attend if you can or show up at 10:30 for the real thing.

A few important notes, when the parade (us included) drives onto Mahon Field, the first and second row of soldiers & cadets will march into position, we are the third row, when we stop, we face 45 degree angle to the front and when the parade is ordered to turn left to face the front, we shut off our engines at that time.

We then stay put during the parade and when the parade is dismissed and marches to the armouries, we follow right behind with 15th Field Regt Band in front of us. Once again we are part of the parade.

Park right in front of the armouries, no parking on the grass please or driving on the grass at Mahon Field.

Thanks and see you this Saturday.
