    Busy

    and 12 Bn are words that have never been used together

    except in the phrase

    12 Bn are busy hiding whilst the rest of the DF work-

    It also works for 4 Bn- 28 Bn- 6 Bn- 3 Bn 1- Bn

    all Cav Units-

    and the school of horses- burning buns and music
    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity.

              "Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.
