Thursday 24th July 1919

In the words of Pte. Harold Charnock (see 17^th March) “On the 24^th July the 10th Battalion, along with other Service Battalions of the Duke of Wellington’s Regiment, received a King’s Colour from the hands of General Belfield, the Colonel of the Regiment, at the Regimental Depot.  The Colours of the 8th, 9th, 10th, 12th and 13th Battalions were then taken to Halifax Parish Church where they were handed over to the vicar”.
