The regimental pride

“Lake and Victory”, is a battle honour, which was won by 4 Guards (1 Rajput) more than two centuries ago. After a string of six victories, as part of Lord Lake’s forces, the battalion, besides this battle honour, was awarded an honorary standard inscribed ‘Lake and Victory’. These Honorary Colours unfold a saga where the sons by their victory redeemed the honour of their fathers. This clearly brings out the regimental pride, which is the hallmark of the traditions of our Army.

It was the Bharatpore fortress that proved impregnable for the Lake’s forces. All his three assaults on this fortress in January and February, 1805, proved abortive. In the fourth assault, 4 Guards (1 Rajput) lost 180 men out of 400. The assault was partially successful with Lieutenant Templeton planting the Colours on the rampart. But he was soon shot down. When his comrade took his place, he, too, was shot down, but he fell holding the Colours riddled with shots and in tatters.

These were replaced by the new one. No one knew about the disappearance of the fragmented old Colours. When 20 years later, in January 1826, the same battalion, 4 Guards (1 Rajput) attacked the fort and took it, the sons brought the old Colours out and tied them to the new Colours to remind themselves of the unfinished task of their fathers that they had to accomplish.

These Colours were then preserved in a glass case and were later encased in a silver casket, which constitutes centre piece of 4 Guards (1 Rajput) today
