A slight swerve from the vein of this topic but!!Last Saturday I attended a Regimental Reunion Dinner in Stockport when prior to the 'Call to dine' I was approached by one of my old Officers from Singapore."I see you have your Malayasian Gong,where's mine?" he asked?"Do you want one sir?" he replied in the usual Rupert manner "Of course I do man"Now fellas this was my chance,"Sir after all those years of you telling me what to do well Sir now its my turn listen to me"I duly and respectfully asked if I could help him in his application,"Erm..yes please"It just so happened I had some application forms with me,I then instructed him (me telling a rupert how to fill in a form?)on the proceedure,When I asked him if he would wear it."OF COURSE I WILL STUFF THE MOD"I always liked that man,even better now.Now we have another 'Officer and Gentleman'on side.
