As an aside, Andy Capp was a Royal Northumberland Fusilier who served in North Africa during WWII.
A few of the cartoon strips mention his being a Fus.
There's one where he's eating in a caff, spits out the food and says " I know that cooking". He rushes to the kitchen - "and shouts "Sergeant Bell" who replies "Fusilier Capp".
There used to be a framed print of at least one of his strips on the wall of 1RRF's Bn HQ during the 70's, he's at the dole office -
"Have you any experience of drilling?
"I was a sergeant in the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers".
