Keep it up folks, this is what I want to hear. Always interested in every aspect, not just negative, and each regiment has it's own ups and downs, all interesting history now that all the line regiments as they were are long gone.
The famous quote from Churchill regarding the Gordons as the finest regiment in the world may have had something to it, or may have been good copy.
Frank Richards relates that the Connaught Rangers had a reputation in India that was not of the best with regard to the native population.
The 2nd RWF still had their "Quetta manners" according to Graves when he joined them.
