      Let`s hope they have better luck on this tour, than they did on the last tour.

        indeed - it was a terrible tour, with 13 killed and nearly 50 VSI.

        incidentally another member of this forum - a young lad who left 27th Batt PDF to join the RIFLES will be deploying with 2RIFLES on this tour.

        i will also be joining them at a later date.

          Odd looking at those young faces, I have pictures on my walls of that same Battalion, bar a number and name change or two of course, going back to the 70's, 80's and 90's and you'd think you were looking at the same people, in some cases though, you're looking at their sons!
          Lt Col. Thompson was the Ops Officer of 2RGJ (now 4 Rifles) when I left, a mere Captain, and I think the CO now, Bill Wright, was a young subaltern, so he's done well in 16 years!

          I'm getting old I fear...........anyway, good luck to them all and in the words of the old saying, "Success to the Rifles!"
