Degsy Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) I must remember to give the soldier who told me at Bovington a sharp word when I next meet him if ever..

If he was a Yank in disguise he'd probably be creased up over the name "Trojan"! :-) Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
