Default Anodised mottos

Dave Alexander is rigt about anodised mottos being chucked. I was commissioned into the Regt in the late 80's and in my time there, the only soldiers who briefly wore anodised mottos were those who had just arrived from the Trg Regt and had worn them there. As soon as they arrived in Munster/Tidworth they were taken pronto to the Regt PRI to buy white metal and blackened metal versions for daily wear and exercise. They only kept the anodised ones to use as swaps whenever we met other units who always wanted them!
