Once and a while, there is a little photographic miracle and I don't quite look almost 58... Sheesh...

Best,

Robert

"Smart turnout", or, direct from The Army Benevolent Fund. I think I am correct to say that the Smart turnout one is made from silk and hence more expensive than the one from the ABF. Whichever one you choose, the ABF is a superbly worthwhile charity and the money(a proportion from ST) does go to the charity from tie sales, from either source.

For those on a budget, the less expensive polyester one is available here at the Forces Store.

And if you fancy setting it off with a "poppy" lapel pin, you can get those from The Royal British Legion Poppy Shop

Well done EB, I forgot that one!

Gentlemen. it appears we are in very esteemed company in wearing the ABF tie.
During one of our news programes, not 5 minutes ago, HRH Prince Charles, was expressing the Royal Family's concern in relation to the Queensland flood, and yes, there peaking from beneath his jacket, was a ABF tie
