    This forum is awesome!

    I hope to make some new recruit buddies here and with any luck gain some useful advice from superior officers.

    I am particularly interested in the units my grandfather was in [more on that another time] and hope to write a fitting tribute to him and the men he served with.

    Welcome Desert Rat - my father was also a Desert Rat, but RA rather than RTR.
