Presentation of New Colours to the South Lincoln Militia, at Grantham, 1854. After the minister had read the usual form of prayer for the consecrating of regimental colours, and the Lord's Prayer...Lady Marian Alford presented the Colours to Lieutenants Banks and Adams..."Gentlemen of the South Lincoln Militia, your gallant Colonel has intrusted to my hand the honour ot presenting to you the new Colours for your regiment. May their now spotless folds never be stained but by summer showers, nor faded but by sunshine, and may they long float like the rainbow - a guarantee ot peace in the land. But, should an enemy venture on our shores, and should you be called upon to fight for your hearths and your homes, I am sure, from the spirit you have shown, that, led by your gallant Colonel, you will follow your Colours with loyal enthusiasm, and bring them back with honour'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
