@Gurkha_Brigade @BritishArmy We should double or triple the annual intake to compensate for poor recruiting in the rest of the Army. These recruits are at a very high standard of discipline and motivation even before reaching Catterick.

@DrChrisParry @RoyalNavy Went on board RECLAIM in the 70s in Preston Dock (coincidentally the Navy’s last ship powered by reciprocating steam engines) and remember asking what the origins of the name were. No one knew and I think the Captain had me down as a trouble maker 😂

@BGatesIsaPyscho Heard that siren almost daily in Darwen, Lancashire in the 1960s. Was used to alert the part time Firemen to respond to a fire call.
