Well done, that man....

11 V.C.'s.... Not all were 2/24th foot, to be sure.

Gurkhas, correct , again. The only one of the "hill tribes " that the British Army could not pacify, so they hired them as mercenaries, instead. Not normally posted in the UK, but they have mounted guard at Buckingham Place on a number of occasions, in the past.

Now about Pioneers, and their "marks of distinction " ?

And a slightly different one.........Why don't Royal Artillery units have colours ?
