They say the badge is made of gunmetal from a French cannon captured at Alex. It became plastic, though smart soldiers bought the real thing; it then amalgamated and then disappeared. You see, all those votes don't come cheap and we'll never, ever have to fight a war again. Good gamble, idiots.
Speaking of which, I announced to Ma LSP, "I'm a veteran!" She replied, "No you're not, you haven't even been in a war." On the contrary, Ma'am, I am the veteran of a 1000 psychic wars, and the Glos. Rgt.
Respect to all who served and are serving.

We owe our Veterans much, Parson. Thank for your service with an ally.
I clicked on the song, thinking you were also a BOC fan, but saw it was Hawkwind.

Take a care, you lot, to look up the Gloucestershire Regiment's service in Korea when you get a chance. Very serious stuff.
Now as to LSP's veteran status: If the Godless commie Rooskies had come thru the Fulda Gap during LSP's tenure, he would have achieved "real" veteran status most ricky-tic.
They also serve, who stand on the wall and wait. Lest we forget.
Nice one, drjim, haven't heard that in ages! And for sure, a BOC fan.
Thanks, Wild. And yes indeed, that US Presidential Citation was well deserved. Not happy with HMGOV at all for disbanding the regiments, what a crime. Canada was better, they kept the units/cap badges and made them reserve.
