Pete,

If I get any notice that we shall never receive formal permission to wear the PJM then I am with you. The moment they make permament value judgements about the PJM v. the GSM on the basis of permament value judgements as between Malaysia (who had the most to lose if we did not succeed) v. the UK (who have nothing to lose by recognising Malaysia's gracious intent), then they can have my medals, too.

But we're going to win this one. I can't be too precise as to the date but one day win we shall. My PJM is not pinned on a hope, but on an expectation.

Anyway, we need a bugler with a chestful of gongs to play "Last Post" over on the Western Front!
