Neither, but I only said sort of.

So - 1884 - then I assume it is horse related in some way????

 

Yes sort of.

Ah - you mean 1880's then ????

 

I thought Neil we were either going to have an argument or you would have thought it through. Yup very well done! In fact 1884

Yes there are, and i know the main website which indeed promotes this! its sad! as military history and restoration are deep in my heart!

 

As you all know, are you coming on the trp clive? go on, ill buy you a cake and something shiney

 

Hm tempted by the shiny thing I must say. Trouble is I don't like narrow places, I have been round the catacombs of Exeter & Paris was fascinated. Also some RSGs & I have a copy of the Committe of 100 publication in 1960s of the details of all RSGs. I remember the Devon one was Kingsbridge 2611, I use to ring it up when I was a schoolboy.

Would we most likely see this mystery object in a MASH unit ?

Clive,

Are you sure this is not pornographic :?

 

For me it isn't, fancy thinking that! Richard, I am rather shocked, it hadn't occured to me it could be misinterpreted in an unseemly way. :-o

Lots of ROC all over the Uk, most are the same, if you are lucky they are still equipped!

 

I know of two people who own ROC posts which they are trying to re-equip/conserve. Sadly the posts have been subject to attack with sledge hammers & angle grinders in attempts to gain entry to their property. I am sure none of you would do that, but unfortunately there are some who would stop at nothing to break in.

No, don't tell us the answer yet Clive...........................that was just a ranging shot.

 

I didn't want people to get bored and now I have shot myself in the foot :roll:

Well what do you all make of this? It is an image from a British Army manual. I have merely removed the caption, I have not adjusted the image itself. well.....?
