We had a church service for veterans, a good turn out nice to see Tug Wilson,Mark Robinson, Shaun Baker (3 Bn) Tony Coxall, Jacko Page (2 BN) Mark remarked about Mike Argue "on on on B Coy"
We had two walters attending and they were confronted Tug Tony and Mark wanted to take them out side but it was not the right place

Good turn out there Jack, the lads looking fit and healthy nice to see, how did the walts get to know about the meetup? Hope the were sent off with a flea in their ear cheeky buggers!
I suppose we should take it as a compliment that they turn up every time. I bet the ACC,RAPC,Pioneer Corps and other such reunions don't have a great turn out of Walts! 🙄Â
We have seen them before and confronted them seems they have no remorse about being caught out. We asked Gen Jacko what could be done, apparently they can hide under the mental health act. Jacko said, while CO at Hereford a guy would run up to the main gate in army attire with a bergen and shout to the security "tell the CO "I've arrived then run off" they never found out who he was
We had one turn up in Dover in full 82nd Airborne uniform and insisting he was a Yank despite his English accent and no knowledge of Fort Bragg! The police were called and just told him to f.ck off and not return as there's no 'Stolen valour' laws like in the States. Impersonating a cop will get you charged,but not a serviceman!
Luckily enough I haven't bumped into many of them, but one guy on Deal seafront was walking towards me with a Reg T-shirt on and was shocked when I asked him which battalion he was from. He said Oh! I just bought it in an Army Surplus store because I liked it, I've never been in the Army. I said if you knew what blokes had done to earn the right to wear that badge, you might have thought twice before you bought it, and if I were you I wouldn't wear it again in case anybody who has served takes umbridge to it!
