Strange, I know someone who's son was supposed to be there but I'm sure she said he was in the Coldstream Guards.

The Welsh Guards have recently returned from Afghanistan where they had a number of losses including their Colonel. Perhaps they should have paraded in desert combat dress?

2 Para is good at having bosses that run off at the spur of the moment and engange the enemy (end up dead) instead of directing their batallion as they should do (Falklands)

My comment was not meant harshly. The blokes in the Army have my deepest sympathy (or rather their wifes and kids

)

I think that our service men and women need all our support at the moment as an ex service man I would have thought that you would have realized that

How do you come up with that I haven´t realized that....

We always had a laugh and a joke despite the circumstances. I think you should come down off your horse (or what ever)

Apparently it was going to be the Coldstream Guards but then they changed it to the Welsh, so I haven't lost my marbles (just can't always remember where I put them

).

The Welsh make damn fine soldiers, under white officers of course.
