The beating or sounding of Retreat has its origins in the sixteenth century when it was possibly the same ceremony as Tattoo, 'ye retrete to beat att 9 att night and take it from ye garde'. A book of 1598 says 'ye Drumme Major will advertise (by beate of Drum) those require for watch'. In the seventeenth century the Drummers are 'to beate the Retreat through the large street and to be answered by all the dummerrs of ye Gardes'.
Nowadays
the ceremony, usually at sunset, denotes the end of the working day and
heralds the mounting of the Guard.
