Yes OK Tony, as I have said on a former post, that I attended the veterans luncheon put on by DaveTilley who is President of the Chichester Queen’s Regimental branch.
During a conversation with Major Russel he explained to me, that the Royal Sussex Regimental tie I was wearing, is no longer a regimental tie of the Royal Sussex Regiment, instead, it is now the Association tie as the Royal Sussex Regiment no longer exists. I must admit, that I was really shocked. When I got home, I ditched the tie and bought myself a Regular Army tie, which I shall now wear. I will keep my Royal Sussex Regimental badge and regalia which I will put on my blazer. Surely, those civvies who run the association can’t take that away from me!
