[1stTankie]

Almost all of our time on the Forum is spent looking backwards and that in itself is difficult enough. But could we for a few moments, until the interest wains or perhaps even until the results are known, fantasise a little on the quandary facing the Dress Committee dealing with the problem of deciding the badges to be worn on the numerous orders of dress by the amalgamation of the 9/12 and QRL.

The lances are relatively simple. The big problem is what should be worn in the cap.
In theory, as the senior regiment, the 9/12L should have preference. But can we see that happening? (Note: At the time of the formation of the QRL the senior regiment was the 16/5L and we know what happened there.)

Up for debate is therefore Full dress, No. 1 Dress, No.2 Dress, Mess Dress etc, etc. all to be further complicated by Officers' and Soldiers' variations not forgetting the NCOs' Arm Badge.

Your thoughts gentlemen please.

Best wishes
