Gentlemen let me put this into veterans language,we served we promised under our colours, do not discard your colours keep them to our selves as time served comrades, dont let the few get rid of your colours fight on and protect what is your right,the Civilians are few we are a Regiment a band of brother's a family that will do what we all signed up to do fight for our colours.
The Association have got to listen to its members if we say don't allow this then the membership got to be heard.
If the Association say this is the ruleing don't go by there say its what the members want .I say always abide by a majority decision but if one man is making the ruling then its a dictatorship not a majority, members veterans brother's comrades to keep us together we have all been there as a extended family and only wish down the line this is the time for the remaining officer's our leaders to do the right thing and back the men on the ground .we are proud we are hopefully united in keeping our colours for time served Veterans and let the support for our Regiment chose there own colours, the decision is in the hands of the board of Governors to be announced on the 10th September? The stable belt colours and tie and landward cap badge Berret is for time served Veterans only ,if you support us as Civilians chose your own colours we will support you on your own terms ,
