Yes. It takes a long time to painstakingly prepare one's uniform and gear for a parade. Those who have never served will not understand how hard it is to prepare everything so that it passes the last inspection before the parade. I remember that after a parade during which it actually rained for a short time, although clear weather had been forecasted, I actually heard a soldier say, "I could hear my rifle already rusting during the rain." We, of course, laughed, but a wet rifle needs to be cleaned thoroughly before returning it to the armory and the armorer will always find something to complain about.
Let me warn foreigners , try closing on the colours and you'll be bayoneted ! Hence the escort with fixed bayonets. When I was serving in Scotland in the sixties it happened.
Quite right. When I was stationed in West Berlin I heard this story: just after the American army finally entered the city in 1945 by the back roads after the main roads had been blockaded by soviet troops, the colors were raised at a flagpole in front of the building to be used as headquarters. A soviet patrol drove up and a soviet soldier went to take the colors down. He was shot when his hand touched the flagpole and no soviet protest was ever registered.
