Field-Marshal Sir William Slim G.B.E, K.C.B, D.S.O, M.C, C.I.G.S.

In this speech he declared,

I would like you to carry away from this parade one thought, and that is this. In the British Army there are no good battalions, and no bad battalions, no good regiments and no bad regiments. There are only good and bad officers. See to it that you are good officers. And good luck to you”.
