This all stems from the British regimental system. It would seem from this article that tradition is now in disarray, if not threatened with near-extinction.

I'm afraid our tried and trusted system is in the greatest jeopardy, thanks to our ghastly New Labour government.

My views on them are as strong as Bluesmans on the Democrats. They are not to be trusted, they have no military experience themselves. What they know about service traditions and esprit-de-Corps could be put on a single childs hair with a lump of coal. Nothing!
