Jim, somewhere along the line I missed that it was a test! Although, I did wonder how someone who had served with a venerable regiment such as the 48th would not have known some of the answers. I was a reservist in LFWA and LFCA in the 1980s/90s, and am friends with a former padre to the 48th as well as the current Drum Major, and have been honoured to know some of the "old guard".

I'm still a little at a lost as to why the MOD website lists the Household Cavalry as the oldest regiments. I'll leave that bit of trivia for you to answer.

There's nothing better than watching an RSM moving across the parade square with his pace stick.
