Yes, there was. I've got the photos from it on a ppt somewhere. I'd have to dig around for the actual Connect though"Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home. But just when you thought there were truly no surprises left in football, Vinnie Jones turns out to be an international player!" (Jimmy Greaves)!"

What are you looking to know?"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.

The only ones I've seen wearing the jumper over the past 3-5 years are Officers ..

For many years the cardboard reinforced woolen jumper was the only warm gear the then FCA, had in the field! (They were crap but better than nothing)."It is a general popular error to imagine that loudest complainers for the public to be the most anxious for it's welfare" Edmund Burke
