RECALL STATUS

What manner of men are these that wear the maroon beret?

They are firstly volunteers and are toughened by physical training, as a result they have infectious optimism and that offensive eagerness which comes from well being. They have 'jumped' from the air and by so doing have conquered fear.

Their duty lies in the van of battle, they are proud of this honour and have never failed in any task. They have the highest standards in all things whether it be skill in battle or smartness in the execution of all peacetime duties. They are in fact, men apart 'every man an emperor'.

Of all the factors which make for success in battle, the spirit of the warrior is the most decisive.

That spirit will be found in full measure in the men who wear the maroon beret.
