INTRODUCTION
The aim of this lesson is for you to understand why and when compliments are paid
This will help you to pass your basic drill and turnout
The reason why you need to know this is so you know who to pay compliments to and when
REASON AND ORIGIN
• The salute with the hand, the present arms and the salute
with the sword were methods by which the person paying
a compliment could show the person to whom the
compliment was paid that no offence was meant.
• They are all gestures symbolic of loyalty and trust. A
salute is, in fact, the normal greeting between comrades
in arms.
REASON AND ORIGIN
• That a salute is given when a cadet meets
an officer is a basic matter of discipline.
• That the salute is properly and smartly
given is a matter of training.
REASON AND ORIGIN
• Failure by an officer in uniform to insist on
being saluted is a breach of discipline.
• Failure by an officer to return a salute
shows a lack of courtesy on his part.
REASON AND ORIGIN
• All compliments derive their origin from the
Sovereign, to whom the highest
compliment, the Royal Salute, is paid.
• Because of their link with the Sovereign the
following are also paid some form of compliment:
D) ALL STANDARDS, GUIDONS AND COLOURS OF REGIMENTS OF THE ARMY AND
THEIR EQUIVALENT IN THE ROYAL NAVY, ROYAL MARINES AND ROYAL AIR FORCE
POINTS TO NOTE
If you are in full uniform, and pass an officer who is in civilian clothing,
YOU will still salute: the officer just will not salute back. Instead, he will brace up and acknowledge that you
have saluted.
THE ACF BANNERThe first ACF Banner was presented by the
Colonel in Chief HRH The Duke of Edinburgh in 1960. A new Banner was presented by the Duke
in 1982
THE ACF BANNER
The ACF Banner is not classed as a Colour, Standard or Guidon as it is
dedicated not consecrated. It will not be ‘trooped’ in a ceremonial sense.
Within the ACF, it will be treated with ‘due ceremony’: it will be given the respect
given to a Colour, except that:
ANSWERS MAY INCLUDE…
• Members of the Royal family (eg: Prince Andrew, Prince Charles)
• Governors and Ministers to whom the Sovereign delegates authority (eg the Prime Minister, Minister for Transport)
• Formed bodies of troops on the Sovereign’s business (eg Trooping the Colour)
• All Standards, Guidons and Colours of Regiments of the Army and their equivalent in the Royal Navy, Royal Marines and Royal Air Force
• All officers, as holders of the Sovereign’s commission
SUMMARY
In summary, you have learnt when compliments are paid and to who, as well as the reason why we
do it
