Rare Drum of the 5th Volunteer Battalion Royal Anglian Regiment.

A rare drum from the 5th Royal Anglian’s. it is beautifully hand decorated with the regiments badge and title. The drum itself is made by Premier and was produced solely for military use, one of only a very few. The condition is great considering it would have been used many times on parade etc. it has no damage apart from the odd minor scuff here and there and it sounds superb. It measures; 14.5 inches in diameter x 14 inches high.
The Royal Anglian Regiment was formed in 1964, making it the oldest of the Line Regiments now operating in the British Army. It was formed from the amalgamation of the four regiments of the East Anglian Brigade, the Norfolk’s, Suffolk’s, Northampton’s and the Essex, and later to encompass all of the East Anglian regiments. The regiment carried out tours-of-duty throughout the Troubles in Northern Ireland and was present on 'Bloody Sunday' in Derry in 1972, when 14 unarmed civilians were killed, also the Yugoslav Wars, Bosnia, Croatia, Sierra Leone and more recently Afghanistan.
