    • The Cambrian Patrol team appears to be issued with the 'tactical trousers' that are being trialled.

      • I don't like the look of that new fleece. Material looks way too stiff and what's with the yellow piping? We'll look like James Bond baddies. Also the hairy fella looks to be struggling in it and he's just sitting there. Can't imagine him in the field wearing it.
        I knew a simple soldier boy.....
        Who grinned at life in empty joy,
        Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
        And whistled early with the lark.

        In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
        With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
        He put a bullet through his brain.
        And no one spoke of him again.

        You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
        Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
        Sneak home and pray you'll never know
        The hell where youth and laughter go.

          Yea, he needs a haircut!

          They are a bit-looking bunch. Best of luck to them.

          'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
          'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
          Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
          He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

              Exactly what I was thinking...
              What are you cackling at, fatty? Too much pie, that's your problem.

                        • Maybe he's just new to the unit and hasn't been issued his blurry face yet
                          To close with and kill the enemy in all weather conditions, night and day and over any terrain

                            Surely the basic issue black tape would have been though?

                              Also I agree. Wearing the boot at the moment o/s. Not sure how it’ll fare in wet season which isn’t the glen. But I’ll post anything I can
