1st Battalion Scots Guards homecoming parade Glasgow 2013
SCOTS GUARDS TO
PARADE IN GLASGOW
Around 250 soldiers will take part in a homecoming
parade in
Glasgow after a six month tour of duty in
Afghanistan.
The
1st Battalion Scots Guards will march from
Holland Street at 11am to
George Square taking in
West Regent Street,
Pitt Street and West
George Street.
The Lord Provost will take the
Salute on the dais, with the Regimental
Lieutenant Colonel,
Brigadier Harry Nickerson in George Square.
Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel Rob Howieson said, "It is a great honour to march through the streets of Glasgow. The Guardsmen are very proud of their work and they are humbled to be able to parade in front of their friends, families and the local community.
"The battalion has had a challenging six months in Afghanistan and the parade will recognise its achievement."
The troops, currently stationed in
Catterick, North Yorkshire, were deployed to Afghanistan as part of
Operation Herrick 17 between
October 2012 and April this year.
The battalion spent the duration of their tour in
Helmand Province, where they were deployed to the Upper
Gereshk Valley.
