Flag retreat is a ceremonial event that symbolizes the end of the day and the respectful lowering of the national flag. It often takes place at military bases, national monuments, or during formal ceremonies, serving as a tribute to the sacrifices made by service members. The ritual reinforces national pride and unity, while also honoring the flag as a symbol of the country’s values and history.

I always thought it was something of a booby prize- so many good patriotic songs- and tin horn ( chitty chitty bang bang- doo doo doot do do- three times. Oddly the Retreat call was livelier than the presentation or assembly (Flag Call).

You have to keep killing their troops until they see the fight is hopeless and start to retreat. Retreating armies will have a flag that flashes white. If they still have some troops, they can regroup and stop retreating. But if your troops retreat, you have no control over them.
