I can't find details of the colours these chaps carried in the Sudan. Anyone want to help me out?

If you go to their association website at www.qrlassociation.co.uk (http://www.qrlassociation.co.uk) you can e-mail historical questions to qrlmuseum@btinternet.com. Or even e-mail directly.

Greetings

While I don't know what answer was received in this case, I've seen references to the last use of regimental colours in action (across the British Army as a whole) being in the 1st Boer War ie pre-Sudan with occasional subsequent use of flags for recognition purposes e.g. 1900 Peking operations.

Sadly, I have been told by the regimental museum that they no longer carried colours.
