    Peaked cap or beret and white belt were normally worn in barracks,garrison duties or on exercise.Now a days while in a "war zone" they dress the same as everybody else.Helmet and the like.

    All our tanks had names in the 80's in the regiment.A sqn had names beginning with A and B sqn B and so on.They were never stenciled on though.A big list was kept in RHQ of the names.In the latter days of the 80's it became fashionable the stencil them on again.
