The original appearance of the salute.

The early salute

It is said that the way to salute is to show your palms.

By tradition, the British Army still uses this salute.

The reason the palm salute started

Before the lyrics die, open the helmet

It originated from verifying identity.

Because the helmets of medieval knights had this structure

Only the face part could open the helmet.

So how did the salute we are familiar with begin?

At that time, the navy in the Middle Ages worked really sloppily.

I had a lot of dirty hands.

To avoid showing your dirty palms to your superiors

It was a salute law that was created

after that

A country that has even been called “the country where the sun never sets”.

A salute spread throughout the world by the Royal Navy.
