ferretfixer Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 EXCELLENT & Very interesting footage, thanks for the link! I enjoyed watching that! A Lot of Folk are not aware that we in R.E.M.E are Soldiers First, & tradesmen, ALWAYS! All R.E.M.E Personell are fully trained in the use of Service Small Arms & have to do Combat training & Familiarisation. The same as any Infantier. We never claim to excell at being 'Combat Troops'. Because as well as the main pre ocupation of carrying out your main duties. In you chosen Trade, there is insufficient time to train in Infantry Skills continuously. However, throughout our career's, continuation Training in Infantry Skills is forever, ongoing! If you look at the Years Honours award lists, you will also observe R.E.M.E Personell recieving Decorations! The Latin Words on Our Belt Buckles are: 'Arte et Marte'. Which translates to: 'By Skill & Fighting'! But we use to have our own term for this: 'Twist to Open'. As the female half of your stablebelt was a great Beer Bottle opener!..............Ah, Herforder PIL,s. What EXCELLENT German Beer!.................

Pzkpfw-e Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 At the 5m mark, the "Flying Jeep" that Winnie's getting into. Shouldn't that be a "Flying Kubelwagen", seeing as it's a Fiesler Storch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
