Advice from servicemen and women?

[Arlen]

Arlen,
Lastly, let me just say that I tip my bonnet to you for wanting to honour your relatives service. My grandfather served with the American forces (US Army Air Corps) in the China-Burma-India Theatre, and he spoke of the British Commonwealth forces with nothing but great respect & admiration. The Burma Campaign is one story from WWII that is sadly forgotten; If you want to read one of the best books on British forces in Burma, I would highly recommend George MacDonald Fraser's Quartered Safe Out Here. It is one of the best WWII books I have ever read. Fraser, a Scot, served with the Border Regiment in Burma, and later served with the Gordons.

Good on ya.

Thank you for the advice.
I think I'll be wearing the Gordon tartan with my cadet badge as a kilt pin and the Cameronians cap badge on my Glengarry and a REME belt buckle.

Thanks to your advice I've just ordered a copy of that on Amazon. I've read all the Flashman books and loved the sarcasm in them, so I think this'll be a good serious work.
