Where on SharePoint id love to look at it

And that's on monitor mass?

I don't think many of my Mob Remeber that however, its a bit odd to make that comments when 3 VP formed 2 Cdn Guards lol. And they were stood down 17 years later, and placed high in precedence because of a name that had nothing to do with a task, or history. QOR were a regular Bn more...

The Canadian Guards were always a weird concept. A direct copy paste of the British equivalent without the history. I don't know what the order of precedence is, but I'd rather see the Queen's Own stood up, that way we can have them host the Army run starting around Ridgeway.

In a completely different vain the Army needs new reserve regiments like it needs a hole in the head. If we can create the 47th Sihk Support Regiment, RCEME id me more interested.

ARes regiments being huge proponents of changing with the times of course. Realistically we raised Scottish / Highland regiments for a bunch of reasons but mostly because of community group engagements in the late 19th century, and then they tended to try and copy a British regiment. We also...

I thought CSS consumed CARBs not the other way around.
