Re: Red poppies
Smashed myself up really badly on a bike in Nov 1981 - I just wasn't up to anything after I got out of hospital so took the civilian option. Don't regret joining, don't regret leaving. Been so long since I was in that I've forgotten most of what I got up to.

Re: Red poppies
I spent my time in 42 Commando based at Bickleigh and 9 months of it in hospital.

Re: Red poppies
Of course, it's in my mum's loft in a box with some other stuff I'll never part with.

Re: Red poppies
The earlier the better, it is not about the 11th hour on the 11th day anymore. It is a much further reaching appeal and we should join in and force the feral youth of today to understand what blokes like this did for our country.
