Combover - you appear to be incorrectly dressed - the pistol lanyard was not worn around the neck but rather around the right shoulder in case an enemy used the lanyard to strangle you - mind you that was the ruling in the Tanks - Infantry were probably different - certainly the 36th Bde - the Firefighers ! Cheers

Cheers The correct position for British infantry officers is around the neck. It was all personal preference anyway when the troops got to the line. I like it there. I've tried it around the shoulder, around the webbing belt and I always seem to default back to that.

Thanks Mike, Drew and Dave. For some reason though when I click on the link it only shows the name of the file not the pic. Perhaps because I'm working on a mac? Your avatar and pic are both nice.
Combover My apologies for ignoring your three pips - all our officers wore their lanyards around their shoulders - thought it was general in action. I keep on learning ! Cheers
Nice picture indeed Nicola. Here my latest portrait.complete with fetching beard.lol Cheers Dave Who looks like his Grandad then
Rich Payne - Nice bike . I used to ride bikes. started on a Honda vision 50 cc moped, then a KH125, Suzuki 100, Yamaha 250, Suzuki 250 and then a Yamaha Virago 535. Had to sell it due to injury, but used to love riding and I wasn't a fair weather rider either. Used to go to a lot of bike rallies and rode all over the country, even taking the 250 up to Scotland, and to North Wales with a holey diaphram (fnarr fnarr) travelling at barely 40mph. I also used to travel to my Viking reenactments on it, travelling with kit and weapons including a spear, fighting knife/sword and a shield strapped to my back! It was a bit like having a parachute on my back lol.
Who looks like his Grandad then Jason, I think I will take that as a compliment or was your reference to me being an old git.lol:p
