### Regimental Colour (1972, now obsolete)

image by Hemendra Bhola, 14 March 2022

The GDF Regimental Colour was presented in 1972. The Colour is similar in layout to the current Force Colour, however without the central disc, and with the inscription written horizontally. The crossed machete/cutlass and spade was larger with stylistic differences from that used today, and with the spade pointing up. This Regimental Colour is now obsolete having been replaced by the current Force Colour.
