Royal Arcerion Regiment: Difference between revisions

Line 46:

The Regimental Colours are housed in the museum, and removed and used by the Regimental Headquarters for ceremonial events. The museum has a planned expansion estimated to cost £2.4 million Arcer Pounds, and is scheduled to be completed in 2030. This will include the creation of a museum rugby pitch, as well as the construction of a vehicle hall for the light and armoured vehicles as well as heavy weapons, used throughout the Regiment's history.

== Regimental ~~Ethos~~ ==

== Regimental Motto ==

The Regimental Motto of "Hold the Line" pays homage to the Battle of Easthampton during the Second Bush War. The Regiment defended the Easthampton suburb of McCaffery, for which RHQ's barracks is named, and the quote was spawned from a letter, now stored in the Regimental Museum, between officers of the Regiment. Captain Fergus MacIntyre, then A/OC (acting Officer Commanding) of C Company, 1st Battalion, had sent correspondence via runner on the sixth day of Indigenous onslaughts on their positions, informing Commanding Officer of the Easthampton Garrison, Sir Timothy O'Brien, that his company was low on ammunition, and had fixed bayonets, and requested guidance as if to withdraw to a more defensible position or wait for reinforcement and resupply. O'Brien, mortally wounded earlier that morning by an Indigenous marksman, penned "Hold the Line," and his initials as he had not enough strength for further orders.

C Company would hold for the remainder of the day, and the letter was kept by MacIntyre, where it eventually replaced the older Regimental Motto of "For Arcerion," in a vote by the members of the Regiment to commemorate their defiant stand at Easthampton.
