Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Drum head service at the Festival of Remembrance 2020 in the Royal Albert Hall (27/10/2020).

The Drumhead Service originated in the 1700’s when soldiers about to go into battle required a place for reflection and remembrance of their fallen comrades in the face of difficult times ahead.

A Drumhead Service is a church service conducted “in the field” during armed conflict. Lacking any means of transport to take the soldiers to church, the Regimental Padre would conduct the service in the field and use the Regimental drums, piled neatly and draped with appropriate colours (national or regimental flags, for example) to create a platform upon which he could place a bible and other pieces of equipment he required to conduct a formal service.
