48th PARADE STATEWelcome to the Parade State!
Keeping Highlanders Informed!
“Welcome to the first edition of the 48th Parade State…your electronic sitrep. It’s purpose is to let me keep you up to date on “what is coming up in the calendar in a way that gives you time to plan to participate in some of the events planned in coming months. It is designed to fill the gap sometimes created in the publication of the Falcon. It will for the most part be an email report designed to go out in August and December of each year. It’s focus will be on upcoming events of interest.
First on the horizon is the Modern Operations – Day of Honour Ceremony on Saturday 6 September where we will honour the service of those Highlanders
who have served overseas on operations since the Second World War. With that event we begin the Advance to the 125th Anniversary of the founding of our Regiment. See you on 6 September! Dileas Gu Brath ARB

Introducing: The 48th Highlanders Overseas Service Pin
The Overseas Service Pin (OSP) has been created as a Regimental award to recognize those Highlanders who have deployed overseas on operations.
Although it is being introduced during the Modern Operations event on 6 September its award is not limited to those Highlanders whose names will be on the Roll of Service.
The OSP is a silver badge based on the Regimental badge with a scroll underneath that reads “OVERSEAS SERVICE”
ELIGIBILITY
ANY HIGHLANDER WHO HAS SERVED ON OVERSEAS OPERATIONS SINCE 1939 IS ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THE AWARD WHETHER THEY DEPLOYED AS A HIGHLANDER, LEFT TO SERVE IN ANOTHER REGIMENT (KOREA) OR BROUGHT THEIR OPERATIONAL EXPERIENCE TO THE HIGHLANDERS AFTER SERVING ON OPERATIONS WITH ANOTHER UNIT.
The first presentation of the OSP will take place on 6 September at the Modern Operations Ceremony.
The Commanding Officer will present OSPs to our 1st Battalion veterans during the Remembrance weekend.
UPDATE ON THE REGIMENTAL MONUMENT PROJECT AT QUEEN’S PARK
Since the Regimental Family Brief on 23 May efforts continue to reach agreement with the City on the way ahead for this important 125th Anniversary Project. As a result of some developments over the past month the Project Team will be coming back to you with some new design options. We have been asked by City staff to consider some additional criteria in our proposed design concepts. The project team will be back to you with revised plans/options in September and another Regimental Family Brief will take place. More to follow.
