About DBpedia

Der Minden Day wird auch heute noch in Großbritannien durch die an der Schlacht bei Minden beteiligten Regimenter am 1. August jeden Jahres gefeiert. Der Tag soll an die Beteiligung der Vorläufer der Regimenter an die Schlacht bei Minden erinnern, dessen Jahrestag auf das Jahr 1759 zurückgeht. Zur Feier des Tages tragen die Regimenter sogenannte „Minden Roses“ als Regiments-Kopfschmuck. Sie sollen daran erinnern, dass die Regimenter wilde Rosen in der Schlacht von Minden trugen. Diese hatten sie zuvor aus Hecken herausgerissen, als sie dem Feind entgegenschritten.

In der ostwestfälischen Stadt Minden fand früher, solange dort britische Besatzungstruppen stationiert waren, an diesem Tag eine Parade von Militärteilen aus Großbritannien und Deutschland am Denkmal der Schlacht von Minden statt. Folgende Regimenter der Britischen Armee feiern diesen Tag: * 12. (Minden) Battery des 12. Regiment (Royal Artillery) * 32. (Minden) Battery des 16. Regiment Royal Artillery * The Royal Scots Borderers des The Royal Regiment of Scotland, Nachfolger des 25th Regiment of Foot (King’s Own Scottish Borderers) * 1st Battalion des The Royal Anglian Regiment, Nachfolger des 12th Regiment of Foot * HQ Company des 3rd Battalion des The Royal Anglian Regiment (TA Reserve) * The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, Nachfolger des 20th Regiment of Foot * The Royal Welsh, Nachfolger des 23rd Regiment of Foot * The Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment, Nachfolger des 37th Regiment of Foot * 3rd und 5th Battalion des The Rifles Regiment, Nachfolger der The Light Infantry, Nachfolger des 51st Regiment of Foot (de) Minden Day is a regimental anniversary celebrated on 1 August by certain units of the British Army. It commemorates the participation of the forerunners of the regiments in the Battle of Minden during the Seven Years' War on that date in 1759. The celebration of the day involves the wearing of "Minden Roses" on the regimental head dress, and in the case of the infantry regiments, the decoration of the regimental colours with garlands of roses. This recalls that the regiments wore wild roses at the battle that they had plucked from the hedgerows as they advanced to engage the enemy. Minden Day is celebrated by: * Suffolk Regiment. * 12 (Minden) Battery, 12 Regiment (Royal Artillery) * 32 (Minden) Battery, 16 Regiment Royal Artillery * The Royal Scots Borderers, The Royal Regiment of Scotland, as successors to the 25th Regiment of Foot (King's Own Scottish Borderers) * 1st Battalion, The Royal Anglian Regiment, successor to the 12th Regiment of Foot * HQ Company, 3rd Battalion, The Royal Anglian Regiment (Army Reserve) * The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, successor the 20th Regiment of Foot * The Royal Welsh, successors to the 23rd Regiment of Foot * The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment, successors to the 37th Regiment of Foot * 3rd and 5th Battalions The Rifles Regiment as successors of The Light Infantry, successors to the 51st Regiment of Foot * The North Saskatchewan Regiment [Reserve Canadian Army] successors to the Saskatoon Light Infantry in honour of a regimental twinning with a British Army Regiment. The N.Sask.R. wears the white rose. The colours of roses varies: red and yellow roses are worn by most of the units (including the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers and the Royal Anglians - both of whom continue to mark Minden as one of their most important regimental days), the PWRR wear a single red rose, whilst a white rose is favoured by the Light Infantry. In some cases this reflects parts of the regimental recruiting areas: the PWRR have strong links with Hampshire (whose badge is a red rose) and the Light Infantry is associated with part of Yorkshire (represented by a white rose). In 1975, August 1 was adopted as Yorkshire Day, partly to reflect the presence of Yorkshire soldiers at the battle. Minden Day is commemorated in the English folk song "Lowlands of Holland", which dates to the time of the Seven Years' War. Like most English folk songs, the song has numerous variants. One version, which is prevalent in Suffolk, home of 12th Regiment of Foot (1st Battalion Royal Anglian Regiment), contains the verse: "My love across the oceanWears a scarlet coat so fair,With a musket at his shoulderAnd roses in his hair". Officers who have not previously attended The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers Officers' Mess Minden Day dinner are presented with a rose to be eaten. The names of those who have done so are then recorded in the Mess Records. (en)
