More money. They sign up and take the King's shilling then they earn it. You are told you are going to "Where... |

I spent ten years in the Reg Forces, five with the Canadian Airborne Regiment in the early to mid seventies. The Armed Forces numbered about 90 thousand and all the Battalions were up to full strength. There was no need to augment the Battalions with Militia as they do today. Once in a while we woul... |

Hey any of you lads hear about some wanker named "Big Bad John"
