from
Wikipedia
Every year since 1967, six red roses have been anonymously delivered to the British Consulate General in Chicago on 1 August.
A note that comes with the roses lists the six regiments and says, " They advanced through rose gardens to the battleground and decorated their tricorne hats and grenadier caps with the emblem of England.
These regiments celebrate Minden Day still, and all wear roses in their caps on this anniversary in memory of their ancestors.
" The consulate asks for the name of the sender so that they may thank the individual in person, but the identity of the donor remains a mystery.
