Why White Sheep Named Sergeant Charles ‘Led’ Ghana Army 2BN Wreathe Laying
[ad_1]
Ghanaians who may not be abreast with military culture will be shocked about an activity of the 2 Infantry Battalion (2Bn) of the Ghana Army which centered around a white sheep named Sergeant Charles II.
This is after the 2BN held a wreath-laying memorial parade for past dead mascots, to uphold an age-old tradition of the Battalion, according to a report first filed by Peace Journal.
The spotless white sheep is a mascot of the 2Bn Ghana Army since the Colonial era. A mascot is a person, animal or object adopted by an institution as a symbolic figure that is believed to bring good luck to that particular institution.
In line with its tradition, the 2Bn held a parade to honour its dead mascots on Saturday 16 December 2023, at the Mascot Cemetery of the Myohaung Barracks, Apremdo, Takoradi.
