Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire And Wiltshire Regiment
EDM number 1907 in 2003-04, proposed by Parmjit Dhanda on 10/11/2004.
That this House applauds the soldiers of the Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Regiment for their service and sacrifices for this country; recognises the proud history of the Glorious Glosters, spanning more than 300 years; notes the Glosters' unique 'Back Badge', which was won when the soldiers fought back to back against Napoleon's troops at the Battle of Alexandria in 1801; believes that the Back Badge is part of the military heritage of the Glorious Glosters of which all Gloucestershire people are proud; and supports the campaign backed by local veterans, residents and The Gloucester Citizen newspaper to retain the Back Badge.
This motion has been signed by a total of 9 MPs.
