Turkish Regimental Standarts

[stevebecker]

Tosun/Mates,

What do we know about laying up of the old Standards.

After so many years British/Commonwealth standards are layed up in the units church, where they fall apart in the churches.

And a New standard is presented to the unit.

Did old Ottoman/Turkish standards get layed up in a mosque or are they layed up in some other place?

Or does the Turkish Army continue to carry these old standards around?

Any ideas
